    Failing to pay employees: isn't that the sort of behavior organizations adopt when they are preparing to declare bankruptcy?

    It is all very well to close the churches, claiming that this is about caring for the weak etc.
    But what funding does your local church or diocese have when the collection plate is empty?

    Here in the U.K. they keep asking people to pay direct from their bank accounts, so that there is some guaranteed funding, but large amounts still come in through the collection plate each week. Also Easter is when they have one of two direct collections for the clergy.

    If this continues for a while almost every diocese will be bankrupt.

    I do not know the US legislation, here in the Netherlands the unpaid salaries of a bancrupt company stand high on the list of what's paid from the remaining capital. So it wouldn't make much sense to withhold salaries - would it in other legislations, if the company is going bankrupt anyway?
    (Maybe it does if you plan to open another company soon, in order to avoid frustrating your old=new business partners ... does not really apply to a diocese, does it?)
