Why are most Protestant pastors rich?

[Augustinian]

It sounds like @Rosie11 is saying there is something wrong with being wealth while being a Protestant pastor

I think there are a lot of people who have wild ideas about how much a Protestant pastor can earn, or how much work is involved in the profession.

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with being wealthy

Yes, you really are.

Wealth used to God’s call to care for His children, (brief pause) is not wrong. (End of sentence). To assume that “Protestant “ pastors are wealthy and not doing so seems unfair. (End of sentence)

The ones in America are completely different to us they are more closer to none travellers than they are to us they sleep around before they’re married and drink alcohol we would not mix with them either

Here in the US, that perception comes from the tv preacher/evangelist crowd. They no more represent “Protestant “ clergy than the scandalous priests represent Catholic clergy.

Who are taking people’s money to buy their fancy things? (End of a question)
When you say Protestant pastors, that’s inclusive. Please be specific. Who? Give names.

What you are calling, “taking other people’s money,” most people call, “earning a salary.” Where do you think most people get money?

 

[Lou2U]

Again, you’re looking at the behaviour of a few pastors and generalising that to “most Protestant pastors” which is neither fair nor charitable.

Hasty generalizations are never a good thing

 

[Rosie11]

Well Their making a lot of money then makes me question their motives
