How can such religious wealth and opulence possibly be justified when there are so many starving children in the world? And I'm not just picking on the Catholics. The $1000 suits, Cadillacs, and mansions of many evangelical and mainline protestant ministers are just as bad. Can this possibly be justified by the gospel of Jesus they claim to believe in?
I'm in Houston, which is the world capital of mega-churches.

They tend to be light on the theology and social justice. The prosperity gospel crowd doesn't seem to be familiar with Jesus' "If you would be perfect, give away all your earthly belongings and follow me."
the hypocrisy astounds me.
