Does anyone else find it strange that these "Evangelical Christians", especially the "Televangelists", are ALL Millionaires, if not, Multi-Millionaires? I always thought Jesus said that you should sell what you have and follow him in order to "feed his sheep". They're all eating High on the hog but I wonder about their Parishioners...? Just saying....

That is incorrect. A denomination is defined as a religious group; a religious organization whose congregations are united in their adherence to its beliefs and practices. Catholicism is indeed a denomination of Christianity.

Wrong! You are expected to know who he is. The question specifically asks what his religion is. If you want to write a question asking to identify the man, knock yourself out.

There should be NO connection between state and religion.

His son backs a money grubbing, racist, misogynistic, morally bankrupt hater. He obviously doesn't take after his father. The Bible Belt also backs this wicked man. I don't get it.

It's not as strange as it is hypocritical! They are leeches feeding off those who can, quite often, least afford to give. Tithing is the bane of the poorer income brackets.

You are so right Nancy. They (well known tv "evangelists") live like kings, a lot like the cardinals and bishops and you know who over there in Italy and all around the world. It is so sad to see blind devotion to any and all "formal religions" where the higherarchy have lives that would rival the pharohs and they still try to guild that last dime out of the comman man.

His son and daughter are a pair of sanctimonious, judgmental flakes.

Cheryl Perkins, you are wrong, my dear. He is a humble man who lived a humble life.
Did you know that God loves you?! Research it.

Allan Berry, really? Perhaps you should read the Bible and find out where us "flakes" get our information from. God loves you, sir! Believe it!

Billy Graham was one of few televangelist who requested a limit on how much he could be paid by the church. He didn't get millions per year like most of the others

Dave Flannery, surprise, Dave. Baptists are not protestants and never have been. Protestants are those denominations that broke away (protested) from the Roman Catholic Church. This means Baptist is a denomination, probably older than the Catholic church since John the Baptist baptized Jesus before Peter built his church on the rock.

Christina Gude, When you answer a QuizzClub question, as a QuizzClub member, you should be able to see a bell in the right corner on the top. You will know if you have a message if there is a number by that bell. I do not regularly use Facebook, so I am not able to tell you how to find messages in that forum. Thank you, Christine, James's wife

Dave Flannery, You are correct that Catholicism is not a Protestant denomination. Catholicism is a religious denomination, however, because each religion is a bit different from the others. Thank you, Christine, James's wife
