Financial Transparency and Accountability.

Generally non-profits are required to publish audited financial statements as part of retaining non-profit benefit and status.
Along the way, churches have been excepted from this. Based on the fraud by clergy coming to light and yet to come to light, is it not time to demand of our government officials that churches comply with the law and publish audited certified financial statemnts (balance sheet and income statements)?
Bishops have been quoted as saying that funds to pay off legal suits have not come from donations. DUHHH! Manna from heaven?
Was Bernard Law's promtion in Rome the result of financial tribute? How can parishioners who spend hard earned monies to build and sustain a parish allow a bishop to summarily take that parish away from them?
The courts in Tucson Arizona have forced the Diocese to make each parish its own legal non-profit. Wave of future?
What allows an archbishop in Detroit to commit $30 million to a Washington museum while closing his flocks' churches?
We, the laity, are the ones at fault, for not holding the bishops accountable. If we let it continue, then we get the kind of church we deserve.
