I've heard that this church is spreading from Brazil (unfortunately IMO). They preach basic christian/catholic beliefs but manipulate people into giving them money for everything involved in the church (blessings, prayers, exorcisms). I've seen documentaries/undercover investigations on it in Brazil where they've shown the leaders "acting out" possesions of demons etc. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it....

I'm brazilian and i've seen one of these huge(really huge) churches... they are manipulators who 'steal' money from the poor people through really low speaches like 'if you don't give us at least 10% of your payment god will not be pleased and you'll go to hell'... in fact they are more elaborated and the exorcisms are quit a show... poor people get impressed and give the little money they have(they salary of $100 they give $50 to the church)... this is the worst kind of steling money cause it makes through changing the faith of individuals....

I thought the Catholic Church always was called the universal Church. They are evil and fake if they are selling blessings and prayers. We must buy the Truth( The Holy Bible, The Living Word Of God ) and sell it not. Jesus is the Word the Truth and The Life and The Pearl Of Great Price. We must confess our sins only to our Heavenly Father.
