Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

Matthew 26:6-13 KJV http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-Chapter-26/

Well done! The Catholic-bashing never ends. 2000 years speaks for itself.

ANd you. Are you actually trying to compare this skeleton’s take it with you attire with Christ? Do you honestly think that Christ’s burial was in any way, shape or form indicative of this disgraceful show of man’s lust for riches? Perhaps you need to stand back and re-read the Scripture you quoted and TRY to see the irony of your “defense”.
