I was never into tithing a “church” whose leader drives a better car than I do.
Good Policy!
My old pastor (RIP) drove a Harley.
He led the 9/11 rolling thunder parade every year.
I saw my (I guess former) priest at the post office today. His car was much newer than mine, which is now in its third decade. I’m not good with most car makes now since many tend to look alike, but it sure wasn’t a rust bucket!

I’m not Jewish. But for a number of years I worked with an Orthodox Jewish community. The younger ones had a nickname for broken down, old cars. They called those cars “rabbimobiles”. As in: All I can afford now is a rabbimobile.
The old cars got that nickname because that’s what their rabbis drove. Broken down old cars.
car? Copeland just bought a new private jet!
If a church operates under a 501c3 it is a handmaiden of the government. The odds are they are more worried about financial dividends than salvation of the “sheep” under their care.
