It’s probably just my growing contempt for wholesale/bargain culture, but I have trouble believing the righteousness of the former NBA arena turned church and CEO pastor who pulls in a $200,000 salary. You might point out that I just lauded the architecture of St. Ignatius in the previous post and label me an elitist, but I’ll have you know I also feel the Catholic church runs quite a racket as well. I suppose it’s possible that the whole protestant movement was about people trying to get in on a slice of the soul-money that the Catholic church had been crowding for several hundred years. Martin Luther didn’t really capitalize on it like he could have, but Henry VIII really got things started. I have a feeling that we here in the states have exceeded all expectations.
One thought on “Cashing in on that soul money”

God, I love it when people find examples of this sort of thing.
