The Catholic Dioceses of the United States of America & Catholic Charities has been audited for fraud, embezzlement, extortion, child sex crimes and much much more in the past 10 years. Why haven't the Federal Government Closed down this specific Hotel Located in Washington DC?

What is your point?

Because, the Catholic Church has proven to be an corrupt agency and has a array of corrupt businesses and business practices than this particular Business St Gregory's Hotel is also corrupt and should be audited. As an ending result of the audit and closure of St. Gregory's Catholic Church in Detroit Michigan.

Facade: Saint Gregory the Great Roman Catholic Church--Detroit MI Saint Gregory the Great has had a nearly ninety-year run as a parish and has been in this building since 1950 or so. But the archdiocese has decided to close the parish July 2013. The firm of Herman and Simons designed the structure. (https://www.flickr.com/photos/71288712@N00/8894935470/)

In my opinion, Its obvious that the Archdioceses can't afford the expense of maintaining the St. Gregory Parish because of their expenses with St. Gregory's Hotel located in Washington DC.

In fact, the Federal Government is not enforcing firm action against the guilty Archdioceses for their criminal penalty against the public.

Anyone that knows anything about the Holy Bible, knows the Catholic church is the world biggest cult, along with Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness and Islam

Obama

That's crazy! The Catholic Church gives more charity around the world than any other organization. There are many good Catholics. All of the teachings by the Catholic Church are related to Biblical writings and teachings.

Except for this crazy stuff:

-purgatory
-infallibility of the pope
-the pope
-grace, achieved through works
-infallibility of the priesthood
-the method in which the pope is chosen
-child molestation is epidemic and largely ignored
-for communion the bread and wine are actually the flesh and blood of Jesus

Otherwise, one would hardly mistake it for a Christian Church at all.....

You know: most people in South America love the drug dealers due to their "charitable work", but it doesn't make them christians does it?

Purgatory is a process that not only the Catholic Church believes. Try reading Swedenburg. Infallibility of the Pope is not a fact. Our first Pope was Peter the disciple. Grace achieved through good works does not cover the Catholic belief. Only through Christ is the Catholic belief. Child molestation exists in all walks of life including all religions. Jesus broke the bread and said "take this and eat it, this is my body which will be given up for you, do this in memory of me." I do not have the time to go deep into this but you are wrong to judge the Catholic Church with such broad accusations. BTW Martin Luther was a Catholic. After he challenged the Church and started the his own, he celebrated the mass daily which included communion. (The bread and the wine).

Kirk-atheists do not know any better so forgive their ignorance. God founded the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church all others were founded by mere mortal men. To black label the largest Church on earth for the mis-deeds of a few is ludicrous. Good Luck America !!!

To everyone else, I'm assuming a Roman Catholic voice isn't popular here, go to this link to read the 99 thesis, which are in fact still true today: http://www.biblestudytools.com/history/creeds-confessions/luther-95-theses.html

Yes, you are correct Martin Luther celebrated mass or precisely communion as we protestants call it but Luther denied t***substantiation, that is: the bread and wine being the flesh of Jesus.

I grew up in various denominations and studied Reformation history in college, and I have never heard of any Protestant religions that purgatory, that is strictly a Catholic delusion and unsubstantiated by scripture.

The 99 thesis was written by Martin Luther. I read it. It's was a very hard read for me. But the bottom line it is only Martin Luther's thoughts and opinions. It doesn't make it fact. However I do agree with much of it. Weather the bread and wine be the spirit of Jesus or His actual body and blood and how the Catholic Church defines it can be a long discussion. But at this point we are splitting hairs. The Catholic Church is more than meets the eye and many Catholics and Christians do not understand the depth of their beliefs. Only the myths and popular interpretation and traditions prevail. Very few really understand.

The Bible condemns, worshipping of saints and Mary, is included. No such thing as buying someone out of purgatory, after death. No human can forgive sins. Bible states Christ died once for all sin. No such thing as eucharist, where as Christ is sacrificed, over and over at every mass. No such thing as Holy Water. No such thing as a pope. All this, man added to the Bible. Can't find none of this in my Bible. Christ and none of the apostles never preach this and you can't find it in the Bible.

Try reading Rev. 17 and 18. It describes the catholic church perfect. Such as: color of scarlet and purple, rich with treasure Rome sits on seven hills, been known as the harlot of Babylon for centuries. Even Martin Luther said the pope was an antichrist. Even calls itself, the mother church.
