4TH ST8 
Way to go Pope! Callng the greedy out.
“The Pope suggested the latter, in characteristically blunt language.
He imagined a wealthy Christian knocking at the gates of heaven and saying, “Here I am, Lord! … I went to Church, I was close to you, I belong to this association, I did this… Don’t you remember all the offerings I made?”
To which Jesus may reply, according to the Pope:
“Yes, I remember. The offerings, I remember them: All dirty. All stolen from the poor. I don’t know you.’ That will be Jesus’ response to these scandalous people who live a double life.”
Thursday’s sermon is far from the first time Francis has targeted Christian hypocrites. In a sermon last February, the outspoken Pope called out the “fakeness” of Christians who talk piously, but do little to help others.”

A great many passages in the Bible are devoted to helping the poor, but the Evangelicals have a loophole. They say the best way to help the poor is to do nothing, so they advocate doing just that. I haven’t heard how that flies in the hereafter.
