Sinead O'Connor says Christ would burn down the Vatican
Controversial singer Sinead O'Connor has stated that "If Christ was here he would be burning down the Vatican. And I for one would be helping him."
She made the remarks to the Irish Independent after the Bishop of the Wexford diocese of Ferns had asked parishioners to help pay the costs of compensation for child abuse cases.
The Bishop of Ferns, Denis Brennan, enraged abuse victims by appealing for funds to pay the $1.2 million owed to the victims.
Well, first get all the valuables out of the Vatican, and sell the stuff to pay a small part of compensation due to the abused, then just turn it into a hotel.
Luke 16 11 "If therefore you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 "And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." 14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things, and they were scoffing at Him. 15 And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.---NASB
I never liked her music or singing voice, but I have to applaud her for this. She's learning the hard way how the Catholic Church operates. I saw a WSJ article a few years ago about poor nuns somewhere in Latin America begging for subsistence and help for the needy Catholics, while the church sits on its wealth. They're just doing the same here. A familiar pattern. Helping the poor and needy, as well as sharing and equality, only goes so far, you know.
