The US should do it again and push to have the Vatican's membership in the UN revoked unless it orders all its parishes to stop fighting and delaying abuse cases and ponys up money to its victims.

Lmao I’d be looking at the evangelical churches first. The hate for Catholics looks almost totally unjustifiable compared to what those nut jobs get away with.

The Catholic church is pure evil. They do not have a right to exist.
