One doesn’t have to look hard to find wealthy men who were also religious men and who used their fortunes for good. []For example, hotel magnate Bill Marrriott used his connections in Congress to lobby Washington so that service members in the military could have access to a wider variety of chaplains in order to represent their religious beliefs. Before Bill, only Catholics and Baptists were accepted for posts as chaplain.
Isn’t it interesting that the Catholic Church was just swell with the right wing and their media screamers during that kerfuffle about birth control in health insurance. Now the right wing and their media are screaming foul about the Pope’s message about obscene profits.
