Hit 'em where it hurts

Well, the sex scandals have finally started to hurt the Catholic church......in the pocketbook. Parishioners, fed up with the scandals and coverups, have pretty much stopped giving money at church every Sunday.

The cynic in me believes that most churches exist primarily to extract as much money from attendees as possible and no church is richer than the Catholic church. That's why when rank and file Catholics stop giving, it'll hit the church where it hurts most.
