You implied Billy Graham was a huckster only interested in filling his bank account. As evidence you post a link showing that he’s rich. Are you sure you’re on the right website? To you rich = greedy charlatan? It doesn’t matter that the man has written dozens of best sellers? Or are Christians not allowed to be rich?

Getting rich off charitable organizations, and getting rich off selling books are two different things. Of course the line blurs when one is tied to the other. We have seen this with the Schullers and Osteens as well. It’s a standard marketing ploy very much like the “Get Well” info-commercials. You have someone speaking about diet and nutrition etc and then this is soon followed by a diet book. At bottom, these are all shallow preachers with “low-intellect” masses following them. You won’t find any Noble Laureates, renowned authors like GK Chesterton, sculptors, painters, artists, inventors, philosophers, scientists, great lawyers, doctors, theologians, saints, martyrs, and statesmen attach to their sophomoric teaching of scripture. If these “preachers’ deny the central truths of the Eucharist, the Catholic Mass, and the sacraments, all the rest is pure froth in a collection basket.
