If only Jesus could return, I imagine his libel awards against groups such as the Family would be staggering.
Not that their “we have wealth and power so obviously God loves us more than you” ideas are new. Our own famously pious pilgrims preached the same, though they left Europe due to corruption such as the idea that rich people could pay the Church to forgive their sins through prayer and on and on and on.
It must be enough to make a middle class Jewish Rabbi who just wanted people to treat each other with love and respect regardless of their material wealth spin like a dreidel in his grave.
