Hypocrisy in the Catholic Church?

I do honestly feel a great deal of satisfaction when I read how a member of the high religious virtues mob comes crashing down to earth with an extremely large bump. For instance, in 2006 when the self-righteous, bible bashing, homophobic preaching Ted Haggard (Pastor of the New Life Church), admitted to soliciting the services of homosexual prostitute Mike Jones for sex and methamphetamine.

On January 4th earlier this year, I read an article on the Australian News website that headlined: The Pill is Polluting the Environment, Vatican Says. The report basically went on to explain how the Vatican Newspaper were garbling on about how the Pill is partly responsible for male infertility, amongst other nonsensical claims.

Last Friday, 31st July, the Pill finally after many years of protest by the Catholic heads, became legal in Italy. However, the powers that be at Vatican said on Thursday, 'it would excommunicate doctors who prescribed the drug and patients who used it.' Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive or suspend membership in a religious community.

Today however, a Catholic bank in Germany has not only admitted to buying stocks in British arms company BAE Systems, but also in Tobacco companies and yes... American birth control Pill maker Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.

The word HYPOCRITES never had a stronger definition.

When will people wake up and learn, that the Catholic church like all other dubious and dogmatic religions, are just large organized businesses whose financial interests go way beyond the god fearing beliefs they deviously push onto the poor sheep who follow them.
