A Fine Example

[eyez0nme]

"MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican bishop sparked a row with the government on Tuesday after he admitted the Catholic Church accepted alms from drug traffickers and that they were "purified" when they reached its coffers.

Ramon Godinez, the bishop of Aguascalientes in central Mexico, said donations from drug gangs occurred "everywhere" in the country, adding that it was "not up to us to investigate where the money comes from," daily Reforma newspaper reported.

"You don't have to burn the money just because it's bad. It's better to transform it ... I've known of cases (where) it's been purified," he added."





This man has full of wisdom; if only the churches followed his lead, they could use drug money to actually help people. Thank God, for churches like these and many others. Doing the will of God.

ummm I don't see how this is hypocritical. Stupid, wrong and corrupt, but not hypocritical.

If a government did this it'd be called "making use of tax money". In fact, the DEA indirectly does this all the time. I don't see what the problem is. At least it's not being recycled directly back into the drug business.

You could have put this in your other hypocrisy thread. Even if it's not a good example.

Locked.
