Oral Roberts. 'Nuf said.
Catholics don't even begin to have a corner on the money market. And they're at least fairly up-front about it.
That said, most parishes exist on these things. There are lots of parishes that closed in Chicago because the Church couldn't afford to keep them open. It costs a lot of money to run one.
Full disclosure - I'm not even a lapsed Catholic. I don't have a religion and I don't want one.
