The temporal workings of the Catholic Church amount to little more than refusing socialists moral succour and publicity while trying to undermine them by protecting the rich and powerful.
The clergy are the same people who murdered Our Lord... Hypocritical charlatans for the most part, particularly in the Diocese of Down and Connor,the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe and the Archdiocese of Dublin or in any big urban environment.
The Church?
A parody of its former self trying like rival organisations to involve younger people in its deceitful street games.
Pray but pay them only your dues and you will have no difficulty or trouble with them unless it is the price of a telephone call for a friend or family member in danger. That's one thing that they are good at, knowing who in authority to approach to save someone's life or prevent them being evicted or starving or worrying themselves to death.
How much to give?
Remember Jesus parable about the little copper coin worth two pence (an 'as') deposited in the Temple Treasury by the old widow, possibly someone Jesus knew since he also refers to the widow who searches for the lost coin.

The church? A popular history?
A brutal and barbaric institution in its day in many jurisdictions,the Church mirrored the power of the state as the Methodists do in England and Wales.
Where the Church is most vigilant is in former workers republics since there the state is a holder of a large portfolio of former Church property and as everyone knows it is money which motivates these kind souls of the cloth. Witness their attitude to and their concupiscence with the rich.

The Irish Church?
Most of the Irish Catholic Church's income comes from the Government. It is the politicians who they answer to. The Government is the the real master in this situation and relations with Government are broken off at peril apart that is from relations with Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein are witless stooges of imperialism and America's liege-men in Ireland,tied at all levels to US mafia fronts.

As vocations have declined,the Church realises its power has evaporated after 166 years.
With the first whiff of dissent in the church,it resorted to a vicious mindset consuming the infant in its womb,the faithful.
In Lisnaskea,that happened in September 1983; in Enniskillen,in November 2015 and in Dublin,in August 1990. In Germany the phenomenon took place in 1924 hence the rise of Nazism.

The Southern Catholic Church counsels charity but displays very little grace in its choice of friends,namely,Irish Army officers and GAA men.These are your local prelate's chosen few and all have a connection to public charity mongering by the Vincent de Paul. Charitymongers take their orders from the bishop,not any central body and are about as disciplined as a herd of wild elephants. IRA organisation,such as it was,mirrored clerical organisation in the recent past.
Give these people what you owe them and no more or they will send you to jail AND,my dear readers,that moral judgement displays greater mental acuity than you will find in any religious textbook or leftist diatribe.
The clergy are shrewd businessmen but do not charge interest on loans or demand profit from investments.
That fact is the basis of elementary socialist copiage and social demands for nationalisation. History has also shown that demands for nationalisation since the Fall of the Berlin Wall often fall on deaf ears because the political class recognises no master,not even Mammon or credit relations despite what Karl Marx wrote and circulated.
Give to charity,therefore. It is mankind's only redeeming grace and anyone who doesn't isn't enlightened or in a state of grace. Indeed,it is my opinion that unless you give all your spare cash to your family or charity, you are not in a state of grace but rather a desperado.

These days we are often listening to a priest who is about to be pensioned off or sent to a private nursing home to care for ageing parishioners or reduced to the level of part-time priest at his own volition.
It is difficult to avoid the impression that many clergymen are anything other than venomous snakes who lie in wait to strike their opponent because the churches do sow division and rancour and hatred to gain advantage over their enemies. Ask any secular priest such as a politician or Marxist. READ THE BIBLE!
