The Catholic Church One of Germany's Largest Purveyors of p0rnography
OK - with that post title you're probably thinking my anti-Roman Catholicism has strayed from the territory of principled doctrinal objection into the shadowy world of conspiracy theory fueled religious bigotry, right? Read on...
A Lutheran Pastor, Mark Henderson
from Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia wrote in his blog "The Glossator" recently the following:
Germany's largest book publisher, 'Weltbild Verlag' (annual turnover US$1.7 billion), carries 2500 p0rn titles in its inventory, including the usual pictorial magazines featuring explicit nudity and 'erotic' novels. No surprises there, as p0rnography has become increasingly 'mainstream' over the last 20 or so years, poisoning millions of hearts and souls in the process. This news is a surprise, though: 'Weltbild' is owned in toto by the Catholic Church in Germany, with ownership divided between the German Bishops’ Conference (24%), the Archdiocese of Munchen and Freising (13%), the diocese of Augsburg (13%) and 11 other dioceses with percentage ownerships ranging from two to seven percent.
Does any of this surprise anyone? Has any one else ever read or heard this. I will admit that this did surprise me. However I could see that my belief that the Roman catholic church is a Harlot of Satan would make this very possible.
