...I have never agreed with these temples of wealth...”
Untold riches, etc. The catholic churches in the Northeast were built on the blood sweat and tears of the blue collar immigrants.
Myth - temples of wealth.
Christians were illiterate. Revelations 21 caused the people to understand how to build.Heaven has great high walls (again Revelations 21) and they did their best to make this happen.
The human mind works by association. Lofty architecture = heaven for the illiterate folds.
folds - sorry! folks
“The human mind works by association. Lofty architecture = heaven for the illiterate folds”
Sounds like they are poorly catechized...
