Talk of the Town: Churches as donees of ill-gotten wealth

Comments on “Churches as donees of ill-gotten wealth” (Human Face by Ma. Ceres P. Doyo, 10/03/25) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:
These grafters donate to churches, aside from cars, amounts for repairs, food packs during certain feast days, sponsorship for masses, and for decorations. there is a bad belief that sins are mitigated if donations are made to churches or ministers of faith. mortal sins cannot be reduced to venial sins. these people forgot the eighth commandment: THOU SHALL NOT STEAL!

There was a time when Vatican sold INDULGENCE to raise funds. during the late middle ages, the protestant reformation members are against the “catholic church selling indulgence to reduce temporal punishment.” Alcantara’s donation of Nissan Navarra to the church is another version of covert ways of “ a person “ for self-redemption.
