So the Pope is a marxist.... (wait for it)

I'd start here. Pew "Nine-in-ten of the leaders (90%) reject the so-called prosperity gospel, the notion that God will grant wealth and good health to those who have enough faith."

The wording of the question is important. That's why I asked for a link to the survey.



The part that matters is "doesn't always". If I were a snake oil salesman and wanted repeat business, I'd be sure to have some fine print that contained the wording "doesn't always". It sometimes does though, which is why you need to buy more of my snake oil.

The other part that strikes me as wrong is the linking of wealth and health as if they are one and the same. What if I believe that prosperity theology can give me wealth, but not health? How do I answer that question honestly?
