You, of course, track the budgets and expenditures of all churches. I
should
have known.
That's right, John. Churches never lie about where the money is going, and
Army recruiters never lie to those they are trying to induce into signing
up. Everything is perfect in your world.

PILARCZYK, AND THE ARCHDIOCESE IS REFUSING COMMENT ON THIS CASE.

BE MADE AVAILABLE SOON.

You can certainly find corruption in all religions Harry. We are human and
have potential moral weaknesses. I knew someone responsible for counting

Yes, there are bad players in all religions. However, I do not think that
the *Church* in general intestinally lies about their donations and budgets.
