Why is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament not mandatory in every parish across the country?

We have it on First Fridays, but requiring PERPETUAL adoration won't work, at least in our parish.

We tried it for a week, three years ago, and the insurance salesman just happened by when the Church was open and unattended for TWO HOURS.

He told the pastor, in no uncertain terms, that our premiums would increase 30% if the Church was open 24/7.

LOL, so the issue is money. The MoneyChangers have taken over the Temple again.

So, it's because of insurance reasons that there can not be Perpetual Adoration!? Now, that's laughable.

There are many churches that have Perpetual Adoration.
