22. Especially the Catholic church

Which spent more then four million tax exempt dollars to do away with abortion in Kansas. That church has no respect for separation of church and state except the part about the state staying out of the church’s business. Akin to conservatives totally ignoring the first half of the second amendment. I say turn the assessors loose on the Church of Rome. Are ya listening Pope Frank. Reign in your fucking bishops in this country. And take care of your rampant sex abuse problem.

Disclosure, I am a resident of Kansas and was born and raised Catholic, served as an altar boy but the intense “grooming” the church is so good at didn’t stick with me. I could ramble on about the money grubbing papists but I’ll spare you. There is so much to ramble about these days.
