The Mission Statement of a Catholic Non-profit hospital that is in the news
for refusing cancer surgery on a patient due to money:
Our Mission We extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus by improving the health and well-being of our communities and bring good help to those in need, especially people who are poor, dying and underserved. Our Values Human Dignity — we commit to uphold the sacredness of life and to be respectful and inclusive of everyone. Integrity — we commit to act ethically and to model right relationships in all of our individual and organizational encounters. Compassion — we commit to accompany those we serve with mercy and tenderness, recognizing that “being with” is as important as “doing for.” Stewardship — we commit to promote the responsible use of all human and financial resources, including Earth itself. Service — we commit to provide the highest quality in every dimension of our ministry. https://bsmhealth.org/mission-values/

3. Remember, Modern Christianity
is all about Supply Side Jesus...if you don't have the cash, you don't get, well, anything.
It's all about the money and those who run religious non-profits tend to gain a whole lot of wealth. That's just religious boilerplate. |

Applying for financial aid for life saving surgery and receiving a rejection letter on Christmas Eve!

8. And you can tell that they are god's favorites
because they are rich! See how that works out?
