With these falsehoods living in our hearts in place of the truth, we become radically susceptible to the root of all evil. We miss out on so much of the fullness of love which Christ desires to infuse into our beings, when we offer excuses for remaining comfortably behind walls of class and color. These are hard teachings, seemingly impossibly hard for rich Catholics. They may have ready arguments against these teachings of infallible truth, but, if they can maintain sufficient segregation, they need never face the issue. All of these teachings I have offered from the Catechism of the Catholic Church are derived directly from the New Testament.
Scripture is very clear on the topic.
As Christians, we never reach a point at which we've given enough and what remains left over is ours to dispose of as we will. God always has a purpose for us and for our goods, and selfishness is never part of the purpose. An awful lot of New Testament scripture has to be perverted to maintain the mainstream Christian illusion that we can live in luxury on what is left over after tithing. None of that tithing stuff is to be found in the New Testament. I believe I am coming to the close of my rant.
