“All that matter is obedience to Christ.”
....but there is good money to be made in getting people to think that you can interpret what that means, and in granting exceptions.
This article is all about monetizing the market demand for Salvation. There is almost no production cost after facilities costs are already sunk - so money made selling “Salvation” is pure profit.
The article doesn't mention money. And where, pray tell, are the American dioceses hiding all their "profits"? Perhaps if a few bishops were sent to business school to prepare them for their collateral duties, there wouldn't be such a plethora of church closures and diocesan bankruptcies. Many of them behave as though they think that money grows on trees.
