Dave When faced with massive law suits, the Catholic Church, in addition to threatening victims with the loss of their souls, pursued a deliberate policy of splitting off parishes to reduce the assets vulnerable to legal action. How this relates to ‘saving souls’ puzzles me.

Apparently those who followed in the shoes of the fisherman were interested in a little better quality footwear than the sandals Peter wore. Also didn't seem to like the idea of poverty and working for one's daily bread.
if you walk in Rome, eventually you will come across the area devoted to clerical robes. The shop windows a full of very beautiful and very elaborate and very expensive vestments for the clergy of the RC church. makes a statement when they cannot afford to pay settlements to those they have harmed, such as abused children or residential school survivors.

Dave Jesus’s fishermen may have been barefoot, but I imagine that Gucci has a boutique within the Vatican.

Wow, I had no idea. I'd always thought the garments were made by tailors in the Vatican. I'll bet most Catholics have no clue this is the case.
Or at least an on-site sales rep. LMAO, thanks Keith.
