6. Wolves In Sheep's Clothing?

So how soon will US Catholic priests, under guidance by Pope Leo XIV, give Sunday sermons and homilies in opposition to Trump and his ungodly inhumane agenda and his Seven Sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth?
But I say tax all churches and especially those phony "ministries" who fleece their flocks gathering millions to buy planes, yachts and live in multi-million dollar mansions called "parsonages." How much genuine grace and tangible benefits to society would there be if all those billions lost to church tax exemptions were spent on needed social programs to better the lives of all instead of the few wolves in sheep's clothing?
