<< For every corrupt Cardinal, there have been thousands of priests serving their flocks in poor parishes. >> And, taking their money, and living quite well. Tis a nice business to be in. But, what are the priests giving in return for all the money given to them from the poor. Well, they are promising eternal riches to the poor of the world. But, as the rules go, the poor have to give up their money now. The church will give them eternal riches AFTER they are dead. Well, how about reversing roles. How about if priests give their ill-gotten gains to the poor now, and then the poor will promise the priests vast riches, which the priests can collect from the poor, after the priests die! <g>

Neocon, You make a good point. Using the same analogy I wish to draw attention to certain innuendos hurled at me or my background implicitly by certain posters, for every criminal immigrant there are thousands of hard working immigrants (who, the studies have found, create many jobs as opposed to eating up jobs), for every example of poor people supposed to have eaten the remains of a dead cow, there are hundred millions who would rather starve than do that (that is all the foreign crew is usually interested in capturing to show things in negative light), for one negative attribute about Gandhi, there are thousands of good ones (interestingly, there was a point of time when I was a fierce critic of Gandhi's deeds. I still disagree with few of his positions). So your point is correct. Not to make generalizations based on exceptions. That is one thing I hold many western nations guilty in many aspects.
