You can't get rich being a Catholic or Orthodox priest...but you can being a Sunday Windstorm. You should see the size of the John Hagee estate.
Too many of these Protestant ministers are into the cult of "me."
Three pastors - a Presbyterian, Methodist, and a Mega-Church Pastor - met for coffee one morning. They began to discuss how they divided up the money that was given on Sundays.
The Presbyterian explained, "My method is rather simple. I go into the gym, stand at half court, and throw all the money into the air. What lands on the east side of the gym, I give to God. What lands on the west side, I keep.
The Methodist pastor was next. "My method is very similar. I stand in the middle of the circle at half court, and throw the money into the air. What lands inside the circle, I give to God. What lands outside the circle, I keep.
The Mega-Church Pastor listened patiently and paused for some time before beginning his rebuke of the two men. "You men of little faith. Your lack of confidence in God's sovreignty is apalling and borderline heresy. If you really believe God is alive and active in today's world, you'll do what I do. Stand in the middle of the gym and throw all the money up in the air. What God wants, He can reach down and grab.
Two can play at that game. Let's just say that the Catholic Church is not immune from self centered clergy.
