Churches are used to control and maintain the patriarchal society and their own power, they don't serve the general good. Now, some churches do, I used to work out arrangements when churches wanted to pay for one of their members medical care. I've had friends who lost their house and everything in it and the local churches really came together and helped them, although that was over 20 years ago. Would the jewish Synagogue do that for Catholics these days, don't know?

What to me is emblematic of today's fake christians is Joel Osteen, who lied in order to avoid helping the people in Houston when they were in dire straits. He cared more about having a pristine church than saving people's lives, he is no Christian whatsoever, but one of the drumpf fakes & takers.
