The junior pastor at one of the country's largest evangelical churches preached the virtues of wealth and smart investment to his working-class congregation yesterday.
It was the same morning the Toronto Star published an investigation into how Paul Melnichuk, patriarch of the Prayer Palace, and his twin sons, Tim and Tom, have amassed a fleet of fine cars and a pricey portfolio of fancy homes while doing little of the charity work their church claims to do.
The Star exposé, part of an ongoing series on Canadian charities, documented the Melnichuk family's lavish lifestyle, including about $12 million in personal real estate north of Toronto and in Florida, in contrast to the bulk of their congregation. Most church members faithfully give 10 per cent of their income.
I hate hypocrisy more then almost any other human foible. This kind of scam makes me sick to my stomach.
You just know that the people who give their money to this self serving bastard are struggling each every month just to make ends meet. But he lives in a mansion and has all of his needs met while allowing his flock to suffer to support his lavish lifestyle.
There is a reason that these people are referred to as a "flock". They are just sheep waiting to be sheared by the first lying son of a bitch to reel them in.
This is just pathetic.
