Like Union Carbide - that one killed a lot of people in Bhopal, and many of the survivors were severely crippled. So they must have been condemned by every priest worth his collar out there - that must have rang SIN in 144 point font, with all of the bold, underline, flashing and animation one can imagine.

>So I set out to google for "priest condemns" corporation. Wow - a total of six pages. Out of which about half are "priest condemns use of condoms", or quotes from holy books, or any other unrelated set of news, where the word "corporation" is elsewhere on the page, most often in the page footer. There were a few cases of priests condemning political violence by governments or other entities (specially Ulster)

Maybe no one every asked for their point of view.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
