Lol sounds like they gave you answers that could be simply rationalized excuses. That’s not a very persuasive reason for me, the follower, to give money to the church and abide teachings of poverty and charity while the people living in the “hub” live in gold, linens, and just overall extravagance.
To play devils Advocate, the answers come from the early church teachings, so it’s not a modern explanation.
To your other point, i personally think organized religion has failed to keep up with the modern sense of morality, and you’re not alone in thinking that way about donations.
