The Church has so much.

It is held in trust for the Divine Inspiration of future generations.

i tell you true, it hurts me to see Catholic people in South America starving when there is gold on the altar in a nice parish elsewhere.

When Mary Magdeline poured perfumed oil over Jesus, Judas admonished her. He said that the oil could be sold and the money used to feed the poor. And Jesus, in turn, admonished Judas, and said, The poor you will always have with you. I will only be here for a short time.

One must give alms to the poor as part of being a follower of Christ, but at the same time, only the best for God. Remember the Wedding at Cana.

Hello.

First, you should know that while I am often sympathetic to Christian causes, I am no Christian.

i see the perfumed oil as a selective, special case.

Don't you think that when Jesus reproved Judas, He KNEW He was going to go down, and KNEW that Judas was going to betray him?



For me, the wedding at Canna is one of the BEST stories.
