Well said. I have said many times in the past how Cekada's novel "Una cuм" construct was a convenient, selfish, self-serving device to "remove the competition" and make more income/money for himself and his chapel(s).
What better way to "own" your parishioners, than by removing all other Masses as an option?
It's diabolically brilliant -- and quite obvious.
I forget which video it was, but I also recall +Sanborn railing about tithing in his chapels stating how much they must contribute based on their income. His example was $800 a month for someone that makes $50k/year. I don't know about some of you, but, I make a little more than that as our
household income as the sole breadwinner as of late, and certainly wouldn't be able to meet $800 a month in tithes.
That was a big red flag for me.
