You need to check your master, Vlad. Satan can quote scripture too, you know.
Did you read the Gospel passage? Three people on this thread used the exact same paragraph to respond to you. Just as Judas was admonished for wanting to sell expensive perfume rather than use it as a means of adoration, so do Catholics find it misguided to use the poor as the reason for not investing in inspirational art and architecture. The poor can see and hear and need inspiration just as much as everyone else does. The Church is just as much theirs as everyone else’s. There are theological reasons for why the Church buildings are built the way they are. Read the article.

There is no hypocrisy or irony.
1) Christ dwells in our tabernacles so we adorn our churches.
2) We also feed the hungry, clothe the naked and otherwise show charity more than all Protestant sects combined.
“I’ve read of people like you before. they were called Pharisees.”
No. I honor Christ. You seek to deny Him honors. You side with Judas. Judas and you said EXACTLY THE SAME THING. In honoring Christ where have I said the same thing as any Pharisee? I have not. Your charge is not only false but ridiculous.
“Of which you seem to be chief. Fortunately, my salvation rests not with your opinion.”
You side with Judas. You presume you are saved yet you say and believe the very words of the betrayer of Christ. And yet you do not see your own hypocrisy and the irony of that?
“You need to check your master, Vlad. Satan can quote scripture too, you know.”
Christ is my master. Don’t serve the same master as Judas. Rejoice in and honor the Lord. Turn away from Judas and his master and embrace Christ.
