I went to the store today and every single Mexican there had way more dirt on their face than usual. It turns out it's some r-slurred Catholic ritual where they smear burnt leaves on your face.

Yeah

Mammon won. Back in the olden days monks or nuns would make a lot of church goods like candles, wine, Eucharist. Artisans (themselves believers) would make the rest.

As monasteries and convents collapsed private enterprise bought out the market. I think there is one convent left where they bake Eucharist still.

Megachurches even have tithing ATMs in the lobbies
