Well this guy Earl Butx (a black senater) stood up in the senate, and said about the pope, "if he dont play, a da game, den he dont make'a da rules". And he was sacked. For telling the truth. At the time the Vatican investments were under scrutiny, and it was found that one of their investments was in a company that manufactured bitth pills................I think this was late 70s, or early 80s.................Ilike guys like Earl Butz, and gals like, Helen Thomas.
