Just as long as they save your soul eh!!

We have said on more than one occassion that in our humble opinion, religon has killed more people than it has ever saved, well the worlds self proclaimed number one religous brand (The Catholic Church). has just found out the awefull truth about yet another one of its earthly salesmen.

Still just as long as he met his sales target, and made sure his flock attended mass and of course donated to an already very wealthy business, I am sure they wont be too bothered,
After all they dont seem to mind how many women in Africa they condem to death from Aids by ordering them not to use condoms! and they have plenty of "sales teams" (missionarys) making sure they replace those who die!! as long as you have converted to the "one true faith" your soul is safe, what happens to you and your dependents whist you are on earth matters little it seems.

Just make sure you keep those donations rolling in.

A Roman Catholic priest has been jailed for life in Argentina for collaborating with the military junta to torture and murder its enemies.


Christian Von Wernich, 69, was accused of passing on information heard in confessions and being present at several torture sessions during the country's "Dirty War" of 1976-83.

He was convicted of involvement in seven murders, 42 abductions and 31 cases of torture.

Several former prisoners of the junta told the trial that Von Wernich used his office to win their trust, then passed information to police torturers.

They gave evidence that he personally attended several torture sessions, telling police that they were doing "God's work".

Von Wernich claimed he was forced to visit detention centres as part of his duties and that those giving evidence were possessed by the devil.


However, it added: "If any member of the Church ... by recommendation or complicity, endorsed the violent repression, he did so under his own responsibility, straying from and sinning gravely against God, humanity and his own conscience."

Up to 30,000 people were killed or disappeared during the Dirty War, before Argentina returned to civilian rule with the election of Raul Alfonsin as president in October 1983.
