Dolan, requested permission from the Vatican to move nearly $57 million into a cemetery trust fund in order to protect the assets from victims of clergy sexual abuse who were demanding compensation.”

I believe this was on the news. God knows all and sees all. What were they going to do with all that money? Help the poor????? It’s hard to trust our ‘spiritual leaders’. I just saw that someone resigned from the Vatican. God is cleaning out His Church! Can’t wait for Jesus to return. We all need to be ready for His return.
