Calling All Good Papists

Your Vatican Needs You!!!!!!!!

The Vatican made a loss last year as the weaker dollar reduced the value of donations from the faithful in the United States.

Almost a quarter of the $79.8m (£40.4m) worth of offerings it received came from collections made in US churches.

But as the dollar lost 15% of its value against the euro, the Catholic Church's governing body made a loss of 9.1m euros (£7.3m: $14.3m) in 2007.

That was despite receiving a single anonymous donation of $14.3m.

Ireland donated $2.2m just 200k less than France, so cough up or meet the reformers in hell ;D

As a famous last word, someone famous (can't remember who now) was on his deathbed and when he was asked if he wanted to renounce the devil he replied, "Now's not the time to be making enemies!"

Ha-ha..just got back from holiday to this great news.

Maybe the Protestant Churches should go for a reverse take-over.

The established Religions (and the likes of the Orange-Order) are the curse of these Islands. With wealth rapidly being transferred to the oil-rich countries to buy the last few drops of crude, look forward to the Muslim Churches being the only World Religion with any money. Allah has won; game, set and match.
