I grew up Catholic and even served as a lector. Before that, though, there was a fund raising then a construction project for the church and the parochial school. The finances for the project needs to be announced after the comunion rites and I’m lucky I never had to read that shit every mass.

Sadly, following leaderships are more aggressive with projects but not as transparent. The former was what we believe is a stereotypical soft-spoken child-loving (SFW) clergyman, while the successor turns out to be a stereotypical Ducati-riding child-molesting sinister minister.
