Christianity has had this wealth issue for 1700 years. We argued about it in the past and we still argue about it. (if you haven't watch/read In the Name of the Rose)
In law school I had my own little run in with that conflict a group of us were looking into applying for the Blackstone Fellowship:
http://www.blackstonelegalfellowship.org/
It's a group that pays for law students to intern with "Christian" causes (mostly political christian conservative stuff). The Fellowship training was hosted over the summer at the Ritz-Carlton Luxury resort in Arizona. It raised my eye-brows, the lutheran's eye-brows, and some of the catholics. The evangelicals saw no problem with that.

If Churches were serious, they would rent out or sell all their properties, liquidate all assets, and start congregating in unheated wooden shacks.
The rest of it is a product of selfishness, corruption and untold arrogance. f**k the monuments and the artwork.
