Hey whoa there buddies, not so fast. Bankruptcy is a federal protection for taxpayers. You don’t get to grift billions in tax free income without paying a cent in taxes, just to turn around and file for bankruptcy protections when you fucked too many kids and wind up having to shell out your unearned tithe.
I certainly am not okay with my tax money being used to bail out churches, fuck that. I’d rather not pay taxes completely. Like them.
What is the church supposed to do in your opinion? Stop raping children altogether? How can they expext people to join the palpacy if they arent allowed to participate in the time honored tradition of diddling kids? Its not that big of an ask, really, youre being selfish.
I can’t lie, you had me in the first few words

Posting in the thread so I don’t editorialize the post- this is what the church keeps doing in America. Individual diocese declaring bankruptcy to avoid big payouts from lawsuits. And yet they are also de facto embassies for a foreign country. It shouldn’t be legal.
I mean, it shouldn’t be legal anyway to get out of child rape cases by declaring bankruptcy, but this makes it worse.
Pay your victims you rapists
Serious question, can’t the bankruptcy court force this, and all the diocese that are doing the same thing, to claw back the money they’ve sent Rome in the last 10, 20, or however many years?
No. Ignoring the religious part, which is huge, they also sent that money to an organization that isn’t in the US. A US judge cannot enforce a ruling on a non-citizen.
It’s pretty comparable to how you’re SOL if you send money to a “Nigerian Prince”.
