Here's a real shocker

It's been a "rough year financially for Boston archdiocese".

The Archdiocese of Boston's financial position deteriorated significantly during the fiscal year that ended just before Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley arrived in July, according to a report released yesterday.

"Obviously we suffered a loss from operations, despite a substantial reduction from the budget cuts we put in place," Chancellor David W. Smith said.

Now, I don't see myself auditioning for "The Apprentice" anytime soon, but my limited business skills tell me that when your "operations" plan includes aiding and abetting the forced anal rape of young boys, you REALLY shouldn't be too surprised to see your bottom (no pun intended) line suffer a blow (no pun intended).
