9. Catholics perpetuate their money making

By grooming children before they are born. Mom and Dad know their job. The child must know they must go to church at least once a week or burn in hell for eternity. And when they go to church they must give the church money. And when they grow older they must train their children and grandchildren accordingly. For centuries. Real dignified huh?

Oh and of course don’t object when your church violates the separation of church and state. Bishops view such objections as unseemly.

Gays don’t groom, but Catholics do it 24/7. More dignity.
