Protestants when they walk into a Catholic church and remember the first two commandments (or just the first, depending on who/when/where). Or the sermon on the mount. Or the part where Jesus says to sell your possessions. Or the parable of the poor widow. And probably a dozen other places that I canāt recall off the top of my head.
They didnāt randomly decide they didnāt like gold, they do have a few reasons for it.
Wait - Joel Osteen is a Protestant, right?
I guess remembering is optionalā¦
The protestant church as an institution isnāt exactly destitute either. Itās just not in gold.
Prosperity gospel preechers like him and that guy with 2 jets are sociopaths. They donāt believe any of it they just like they pay and perks.
Sounds to me like that would make them the only honest Christians
Televangelists believe in nothing but money
Why is every single comment about the catholic church, even though it isnāt even in the meme
Idk, probably westerners donāt know a difference between Catholic and Orthodox church
Do the preachers sing solo or something because we definitely had hymns in catholic mass?
I believe theyāre referring to āCantoringā, wherein parts of the liturgy are sung by the priest/minister.
Some Protestant churches also do this.
Catholicism was never shy about ostentatious displays of their wealth, thatās for sure.
