Dear God,
So I was kind of wondering … I sat through this presentation about Catholicism today for work, and the video kept talking about the Pope and showing pictures of him and everything. I realize that I grew up Baptist and all, so Catholic hierarchy doesn’t make a lot of sense to me …
… But why does someone who lives in a huge mansion … nee, his own city, really … feel that it’s okay to tell me that I should contribute my salary to helping the poor when he wears Prada shoes, Serengetti sunglasses, and sits on a throne in a church paved in gold?
I mean, really, if it was really that important to feed the poor and right the wrongs .. which I know it is .. why does he live in such opulence when everyone else suffers?
I know your vision is a lot more widespread than mine and such, God. And I don’t like the Baptists either .. the Falwells, Robertsons, and Meyers of the Protestant world are just as bad … but something there just doesn’t add up …
God, I don’t say this to make myself sound better – I’m no better nor worse than anyone else. But please always remind me, no matter how great or small my personal wealth is, that being a hypocrite is wrong. And to help those around me who are in need, no matter how much or how little it is that I really have.
