using a religion to extort money from people (or for trying to exert control over them in other ways) is called 'simony'.
i was surprised that you put the roman catholic church first in your list of simoniac organisations. the roman catholic church has always been vociferous in it opposition to the practice (many protestant churches don't have an explicit position on simony at all).
but then you can only know what is 'polluting the messiah's message' if you know exactly what the messiah's message is.
and only the messiah would know that.

1 John 4: 3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world.

You fail to mention your religion, is it beyond interpretation or misinterpretation?
