Could you follow up with a piece on Mark 12:40. . . ?
You mean about the scribes, who "devour widows' houses"? Obviously, they were abusing their influence, in order to take financial advantage of those vulnerable women. I'm not sure what more you're looking for on that.

I'm merely concerned lest some of the "Profit-driven churches" misuse the widow's mite parable to push even harder for money -- for all the *wrong* reasons.
Cheers!
