The Boston Archdiocese is pouring $850,000 into a last-minute effort to defeat a state ballot measure to legalize marijuana, calling increased drug use a threat to the Catholic Church’s health and social-service programs.

 

mormon church against marijuana

catholic church against marijuana

 

maybe instead of buying ads they should pray to their gods to keep this plant illegal and continue the racist war on drugs.

 

its too bad. 850k could have fed the poor, healed the sick , housed the homeless...

i guess the catholic church is more interested in marijuana than all of those "social programs" it touts.

Catholics.....well lookee here...... now we know what they do with those dollar bills you stuff into the envelopes on Sundays.

 

does this make Catholics anti's ?  If they support the church they support prohibition?  Who will give them another dollar this week?

Catholics?  democrats?

Their power and income depend upon maintaining the illusion that there is a single entity (God) who controls life and that there is a group of people (priests) who have an exclusive connection to God. Marijuana makes people question this arrangement ergo it cannot be allowed. It might put organized religion out of business.

What strange and interesting times we live in.

My mother, who is a very old lady now, told me stories about growing up in Southern California and taking frequent trips to Mexico. She spent time in Catholic Churches but dissociated with them after seeing hugh churches adorned with gold while poor people begged on the street in front of them. What a sad dichotomy. The church can afford grandios architecture and gold adornments but can't afford to help the sick and hungry? How about a humble little church building and directing excess funds to the poor, sick, and downtrodden?
