[Joyful Wisdom]

I mean, our own preachers ask for money on Sunday too.

I have never, in any Church I have attended, been asked to pay to pray.

In the Catholic church I have been asked for money to help support a good cause, feed the poor, help paint a neighbors fence etc, but never as a way of helping my prayers get to God.

True. But some people think that if I give the priest $50 to do my wedding or a funeral that I am "buying" access to the sacraments.
