St. Josaphat Steeple Damaged in Storm - Church Building in Jeopardy?

[bailey]

That's gross. Sorry you have little feeling for religion or its icons. I am not Catholic but We will be donating albeit a little to restore a historic building, a beacon of hope to many, part of our skyline. a tradition, our history. Shame on you for wanting to commercial a historic religious structure. Sumas

I don't mean to be a dick here, but you consistently talk about your somewhat precarious financial situation and yet you're going to donate to an organization that a) you don't belong to; and b) has access to [[or should have access to) almost unimaginable wealth it could use to handle this in a blink of an eye?

I suggest the St. Josaphat/SOS folks contact Pope Francis and ask him to send over the $20,000 Bathtub and various other accouterments from Bishop Tebartz-van Elst's 41 million dollar private residence. Or maybe it reimburse the Detroit diocese for the 50 million it spent funding that ridiculous museum in Washington DC?

If there is one organization in the area LESS in need of charitable contributions it's a Catholic Church.
