text: Thanks for the info, Betty.  I took a look at the article about Irish Catholic Church.  Many religious order are worth hundreds of millions.  
  
  It is unfathomable to me that the government was going to pay for a hospital and just turn ownership of it over to a religious order.  Not sure how it worked out - understand the religious order has turned it over to a non-profit.  But I still don't understand why the government doesn't want ownership.
