Neo-Church Parish Substitutes Gospel for Medical Debt Relief Scheme
The EWTN News portal reports that the conciliar structure styling itself “St. Eugene Catholic Church” in Oklahoma City, under the direction of its “pastor” Fr. Jim Goins, has partnered with the secular nonprofit Undue Medical Debt to purchase and forgive $6.5 million in medical obligations for a “gift” of $25,000. The “priest” frames this financial transaction as a realization of the biblical “year of favor,” organizing a “10-bucks Sundays” collection tied to the Fourth of July holiday as a “freedom from medical debt” campaign, and challenging other conciliar parishes to a “friendly competition” to “beat” their total. This humanitarian stunt exposes the neo-church’s total abandonment of the supernatural mission for naturalistic philanthropy, reducing the annus Domini to a credit-repair scheme.
