Bible Note: "Atrocity" is a strong word. Why don't we hang on to it for people like Haman, Hitler, and Hussein? Given the opportunity, men take advantage of others for financial gain using religion as a cloak to hide their true intent. Indulgences were a serious problem, and a lot of money was garnered by the practice. Today, on the other hand, people are bilked from their own living rooms. I do not recall reading anything in the current Roman Catholic catechism about the practice of selling indulgences. However, these folks on TV do not appear to be associated with Rome, at least in any overt ways. (I'll never forget hearing as a kid about "prayer towels" and "John the Baptist shower curtains.") I don't think we should ignore history, but lets discern the merits of a philosophy/theology on what they say, how consistently their adherents behave in the light of what they say, and how it all lines up with scripture. |
