This sounds dangerously close to simony from days of yore. This is the practice of selling and buying indulgences.

This was one of the things that caused Martin Luther to drive down a different road.

It might have helped that the Pope was marrying off his daughter so the boys could arrange to murder her husband and, thus, take possession of a few more acres of land.

Still, we should not lose sight of the most corrupt of religions extant i.e. the Religion of Peace.

We Catholics find your hate despicable. But we’ll pray for you in any event.
