Why is it better to donate to churches than to treat the sick?

Apparently, after the Bolsheviks carried out a “purge” in the good old days, the Russian Orthodox Church has some kind of manic desire to build and build churches. In Yekaterinburg there are 232 churches (approximately 33 churches per district), 230 houses of worship (also approximately 33 per district), 59 communities and 29 chapels, the Ekaterinburg Diocese writes on its website. In fact, of course, there are fewer of them; apparently they counted the temples in neighboring villages and buildings.

In the section on churches under construction in Yekaterinburg , the diocese reports only four churches under construction, but at this time it is collecting money for the construction of other churches in areas already provided with churches, chapels and other nonsense, for example, a church on Babushkina Street (Elmash microdistrict), There are quite enough temples there, why else are there? It would be better to use this money for good, for example, for the treatment of cancer.

Here is another collection of “tithes” for the construction of churches, this time I was struck by the fact that in the neighboring transparent box for collecting money for a little boy there was much less money for treatment.

And this is not the last fundraiser for mayors for priests, but I think by 2030, each priest will have a personal church with one parishioner. Half of the population will be church workers, and the other half will be temple builders.
