If it is true it could still be that the plan is to use this money over time, or to keep it as a reserve in case the order does encounter a funding shortfall Hello Twofowler? You there? We have just spent a number of posts considering the question or whether or not the SOC removed billions of dollars out of the service of the poor; and you suggest the plan is to use the money as a reserve in case of a funding shortfall? A reserve for WHAT?? Where did you hear this? If someone had real evidence that these accounts were basically personal slush funds grabbed by the nuns for their personal enrichment then they would have a very effective attack on MT I have no idea why you have proposed this one unlikely circumstance as being necessary to the faulting of MT. I think you must be reading out of a private book. I think that misappropriating funds, if the testimony of the SOC staff is indeed trustworthy, is more than sufficient evidence of fraud. I think perhaps you might understand this a little better with an analogy. If you gave me a cheque for a million dollars to build a hostel for the poor, and if I gave you a receipt indicating that particular usage of the money, but instead I put the cheque in a Vatican bank account--I think you would be more than a little upset if you found out. You really don't understand any of this, do you??
