Jesus was not poor, or Judas could not have been stealing out of the money bag ( see John 12:3-6 ). Many rich people gave into the ministry of Jesus. But, the Catholic church teaches doctrines that go against Jesus' teachings.
the catholic church was rich because they told the congregation that they would have to pay for their sins so God would forgive them. they lied to get money, it was a complete scam and they pulled it off because the pope had such a big influence on everything back in that time. nowadays, catholic churches ask for money, but its not as severe as it was before.
yep. he said you dont need fancy churches or powerful idols to worship his god. he taught the word of god in peoples homes in which he spent the night. its how he got around.
