Cool. I am not religious, but if Microsoft makes it, then it must be good.

With all it's wealth, Microsoft could never afford the Catholic Church, the biggest business ever! Maybe the other way around. That would give Bill a lesson in Cut-throat tactics he would never forget!

What a Shrewd Move!!!

Microsoft would not even have to pretend to pay taxes, or do charity.


P.S. Most of my family is still in the Church.
But - they don't contribute like they used too, ever since the scandals, coverups, and legal settlements.
The Church is really hurting finacially now. USA contributions have fallen off drastically.
