I didn't link them all to money--I didn't link them ALL to anything... I used a qualifier, please go back and read what I wrote.  Do you deny that "certain obligations required of MT" were formulated out of a desire to bind the masses to the ruling Roman class?  Do you think that is what Jesus had in mind in his Sermon on the Mount?

I would further argue that Rome's "teaching" about the authority of 'Holy Mother Church' is also fallacious. The institutional church doesn't teach anything--people do. Same with any institution of higher learning, they are only as good as those who are entrusted to teach. So who in their right mind believes an institution made up of fallible humans can teach infallibly? (PS - I know the RC argument against this, I'm simply not willing to distort reality in order to fit this Roman construct.) 
 
Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength. (Jeremiah 17:5)

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:)
