Johnny's not just off on some anti-religious treatise this morning. No, he's making comment on the fact that Cardinal Timothy Dolan shielded money the Catholic Church had from victims of his priests rather than protecting the children from the actions of said priests. Who in God's name does that? Who actually puts the church coffers before the safety and well-being children in the parish? Cardinal Timothy Dolan does, that's who.
Johnny's long wondered about those who run the churches and their true charges, money vs. pastoring the flock and darned if money doesn't win every time.
“I foresee an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability.” said Dolan in 2007. $57 million dollars moved to protect it, not the children, from the light of day. One heinous charge shows Dolan using some of the money to pay pedophile priests to go away (you know instead of calling the sheriff or something helpful).
These are simply IMMORAL actions by a man who decided his actual job was to protect money, not people. He'd rather see lives ruined than give up any coin his church has amassed. Kinda goes against those teachings of Jesus if you ask Johnny. Here's to a federal investigation of Dolan's actions.
How can people look at this man and praise him? Are your ideas on what is moral different than Johnny's? See if Johnny knows kids are being abused he's gonna tell a cop, or a prosecutor or Social Services, not move to protect piles of cash. Know why? As an Atheist Johnny still has a moral compass, something that sure seems to be lacking in yet another major religious leader.
