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 can’t recall off the top of my head.
They didn’t randomly decide they didn’t like gold, they do have a few reasons for it.
Wait - Joel Osteen is a Protestant, right?
I guess remembering is optional…
The protestant church as an institution isn’t exactly destitute either. It’s just not in gold.
Prosperity gospel preechers like him and that guy with 2 jets are sociopaths. They don’t 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
Catholicism was never shy about ostentatious displays of their wealth, that’s for sure.
Do the preachers sing solo or something because we definitely had hymns in catholic mass?
I believe they’re referring to “Cantoring”, wherein parts of the liturgy are sung by the priest/minister.
Some Protestant churches also do this.
