I’m a Catholic, but I also enjoy listening to JM occaisionally and have attended some of her conferences.

And btw-—I also much prefer the “Gospel of prosperity” any day of the week over the current Pope’s socialist bs and the stuff about “social justice” we constantly hear in church every week.

I laugh when Catholics complain about the lavish lifestyles of some very successful Protestant preachers like JM. Has anyone visited the Vatican lately? There is no church around today that is nearly as wealthy and powerful as the Catholic Church. The Pope, the Cardinals, and most bishops live in a royal splendour that would rival that of any monarch.

Yet, none of that stuff is owned by the Pope. It is not there property, they can’t sell it, or use the money to buy cars and summer homes and winter homes, they can’t own anything in the Vatican. None of the artwork and Churches done by countless Catholics down thru the centuries is the personal property of anyone.

Your comparison is BS

This is false. Where are you getting this information? Or is it merely your opinion?
