I love when people purport to know what Jesus would say or do or approve. The Catholic Church does more for the world’s poor, sick, hungry and elderly than any other religion or government. Many of the most magnificent churches in this country were built by Catholics with their own money and their own labor and materials donated. If you don’t like the ‘temples of wealth’, don’t go to one. Traditional Catholic churches were built out of reverence to Providence, not as a showy display of wealth. They were designed to awe and humble those who entered out of respect for God.
Jesus condemned the Pharisees for making a show of their acts of charity. He taught us that the right hand should not let the left hand know what it is doing.
All this bragging on what the church is doing, has gotten its reward in this world from the attention it has gotten.
There's none left in heaven for those who flaunt their good works for attention.
