My mistake, I misspoke about tithing. I wasn't trying to imply that the Church tithes to the Vatican. I used the wrong word. They do donate through Peter's Pence, but it's voluntary, so I'll drop that issue except to say those who do donate are in fact finding this abuse.
I'm not an American, though I do know what you mean. And politicians routinely get called out for financial mismanagement, and when people get mad enough about it, the people vote someone else in, so it does allow for a change of leadership.
I can't really see a problem with the people demanding their Cardinal or Bishop or whomever standing down for a failure to protect children from sex abuse and cover-ups within the organization. Either individually or collectively. Each person has the right to hinge their participation on this issue if they choose. And many do. The Catholic Church is losing followers in droves because of it. I don't think of it as a "who should be the one who decides the course of the church" because that seems sanctimonious. I look at it from the perspective of not wanting to continue riding a bus that is going nowhere good, and saying "either change course or I'm getting off"

Admiral, if we were to assume these whales were ours to do with as we pleased, we would be as guilty as those who caused their extinction.

Not funny that someone gave this cat drugs.
Servals are pets for many people, but they are not typical house cats and must be carefully watched. Owners have to know how to treat them and take care of them properly.
The people who owned this one are assholes.

Oh no, there’s plenty of meth use in Hawaii. It’s just called “Ice” over there

> Your church should refuse tithing until leadership stands down
We don't tithe.
And who chooses what the leadership should stand down about? You? You are certainly free to donate or not to any cause you wish. Except of course when that is taxes. So The Ukraine for example, you have to support as an American, you have no choice. Church members are at least free to withhold if they wish.
Obedience without question is a problem everywhere at all times. Thank goodness most people do not do this.

Alcohol percentage labeling is kinda BS. I've had so many beers in the last few years that were labeled at 8% or so, but from mouth feel tasted more in the 11-14% range.

What do you mean nobody will notice. One's a savage animal driven by its feral instincts who will eat your young alive if you let it who's going into heat do to a stimulant narcotic, and the other was the 'pet' of some probably Joe Exotic wannabe idiot.

The various crimes and cover-ups, conscious choices to be intolerant, literally the whole ball of wax is only able to continue because people continue to enable them. They do so by being complacent with the atrocities committed by the church, but more importantly they do so by directly funding the leadership that allows these crimes to occur, and funding their coverups, their legal defense, etc etc.
Your church should refuse tithing until leadership stands down and the issues are dealt with. But they won't, because obedience without question is a core function of Catholicism, or religion as a whole.
If you're part of a biker gang that doesn't do human trafficking, but you kick up to one that does, and you know they're using your money to do it, how clean is your conscience?

Yes but our comedy horror sequel is still going to need a coked up African serval cat in it.
