Referring to a letter that appeared in ‘The Goan Everday' on 13 December 2017, it is to clarify that the Pope has rightly observed churches are turning into supermarkets, where everything has a monetary tag. It was against this, indulgences with a monetary tag which led Luthers performance movement.
However, one must understand the socio-economic situation at that time when the churches became money minded. It was because of the transaction taking place in Europe at that time, from feudalism to Capitalism, which is mainly about making money and profit. Making money and profit is essential for us to a decent human life. But making super profits, as witnessed in today's world where some have become billionaires and trillionaires, while the masses became impoverished and below human dignity, is totally unjustified.
