Fr. Barron comments on Anne Rice leaving Christianity

See. Here's my thing. I don't want to leave the Church. I just don't want to be a part of certain aspects of it. Evangelicalism? I can do with A LOT LESS hoopla. Don't want the shows. Don't want the star power (and I'm not even thinking the Joel Olsteen types). I don't want the big business aspect. Don't want the politics. I just want it simple.

"American Christianity is rapidly being infected by an insidious disease, the so-called "wealth and health" Gospel--although it has very little of the character of the Gospel in it. In its more brazen forms...it simply says, "Serve God and get rich"...in its more respectable--but pernicious--forms it builds fifteen million dollar crystal cathedrals to the glory of affluent suburn Christianity--Gordon Fee, The Disease of the Health and Wealth Gospels
