I don't believe it

No taxes on $4M parsonage

The 'Prosperity Gospel', that is. This is why the Christian religion in general needs the long history of the Catholic Church - to have a history of faith to hold the 'new ideas' up to. There's nothing new here that the RCC hasn't seen in its own past. Just more of the same abuses and untruths.

This could be called 'The Lifestyles of the Rich and Religious'. Notice how it always seems to be the pastors of these 'flocks' that seem to make out the best. I wonder if the 'flocks' are getting 'fleeced'.
( Couldn't resist it.)

"'They could buy a very, very nice home out here for half a million,' she said. 'Can you imagine how many miracles you could perform, how many people you could help with the $3 million left over?'"


Indeed.
