Like other True ChristiansTC here, I'm reluctant to side with sinful Catholics on any issue. But we at Landover Baptist share a concern with them on a recent Supreme Court decision. The decision was to allow a court case to continue that challenges the rights of Bishops to tell those in the pews one thing about their money and actually do something else. Those of us in leadership positions at Landover Baptist need the freedom to spend money from the collection plate in the way that serves Jesus even if Pastor Zeke told our people something different. It's called management.
In the case of Catholics, the priests told those in the Pews the annual fund for the poor would be used for that purpose. A good real estate investment opportunity came up so the poor were "postponed." Some cranky church member is taking the Bishop to court over this silly issue.
We here at Landover Baptist often hear Pastor Zeke urge tithing to spread the gospel around the world. Church members have no business knowing where their tithes end up. They might start asking questions about the constant remodeling of the Pastor's residence or his frequent trips to the Philippines.
