>>>However, the part about Nazi gold being used to help rebuild or maintain the sanctuary IS news, and as a Catholic I'm mortified. His Holiness should order the sanctuary at Fatima to repay the money it received from the buillion sales--with interest--to Holocaust survivors' families or appropriate groups like B'Nai Brith. They're the only ones who should profit from gold stolen from Jews during WWII, NOT a religious shrine, no matter HOW sacred it is considered...<<<

I'm glad *someone* picked up on that; my point exactly...

.tom, *not* understanding the Catholic Churchat all...

PS, Edward, did you happen to check out the other link in my first post, about the sexual and financial mis-conduct in Northern California Dioceses (sp?)... BTW I'm not at all down on or picking out the Catholic Church to dump on, but this stuff really caught my eye.
