Do you think God doesn't determine whatever prosperity, good health and loving family you experience in this life?

Has the papacy come to such an ungracious point in its history it now denies God's hand in the blessings of our lives?

Amazing.

This is the thinking that led the Reformed to embrace slavery. Whatever I happen to amass is God's wish and however I wish to amass it is God's plan. It is the realization of the complete and utter unChristianity of this type of thinking that led such as Carnegie to completely repudiate his Calvinist thinking and to engage in utter and complete Christian philanthropy. If a bank account were the measure of God's blessing, why are you not now venerating Obama? Or the Clintons? Or Soros?
