This is not new in the Catholic Church. Beginning in the seventies I began to hear about Sisters I knew who were forced to go out into the fray in their late fifties and get any job they could so as to build up Social Security. Reason given? "We (the church) can no longer afford to support you and you need to get social security payments for your retirement.

This was the final reason for my total disenchantment with the Catholic Church. I have since left the church all together.

I find it all disgusting, traumatizing and sinful in the extreme.

I wonder who taught those priests when they were young?
