    Administrators already had to borrow from diocesan funds to pay the 60-odd priests

    I wonder in what way the priests were odd.

    Appoint a liquidator and wind it up.
    Prods might be interested in an acquisition, be fairly hostile though.

    Sure all the Muslims keep blowing everything up. ALL of them. Send them all home.

    So there isn't money to pay the priests

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/diocese-had-no-money-at-christmas-to-pay-priests-wages-after-decline-in-donations-from-parishioners-37826752.html

    What a shame.

    That's what happens when you commit terrible crimes, cover them up, and expect the sheep to let you away with it.

    Thankfully, Ireland is finally waking up to the Catholic Church.

    The church has more than enough money to pay priests. What they are saying is there wasnt enough in donations to cover the full cost of their wages.

    I always thought priests took a vow of poverty.... :p

    Few people carry change or cash anymore. Time for the church to leave a contactless terminal in churches where people can tap and go.

    The days of fumbling for change at the bottom of your wallet are long gone.

    Out of the ones I know who'd be good to the parish collection they'd barely have a standard ATM card never mind a Visa contactless card.

    Instead of handing out hail marys or our fathers as punishment for sins told at confession they should charge instead..

    As a former devout member of this organisation, I long for the day when it collapses altogether. A stain on humanity.

    A church tax on the faithful like in other countries would sort out their mess, it'll expel the fake Catholics. Only thing is there would be less people than ever attending their mass as money talks!

    Well they can hardly be seen to be flashing the cash. Sure then they’d be made pay the reparations that we’re still waiting on....

    God will send them money if things get really tight. He’d hardly let his representatives on earth go poor and/or without wages.

    The church have billions stored away. God doesn't let them spend it in case she needs it for a rainy day

    You'd certainly imagime that it has their back right enough, but then again when is the last time you saw a church without a lightning protector? Something doesn't really add up it seems.

    Well there's plenty money and wealth in the Vactican so that should take care of that.

    Feel sorry for the many good priests that are out there though who believe in their calling and want to do right by their parish.

    Always felt it unfair to label every priest as scum or dodge.

    Population would be 3,740!

    People would also give more move to the clubs/groups collecting at the door and the S.V.P on the way out!
