About this Quote

This quote is a criticism of television preachers, suggesting that they are taking advantage of the poor to live an elegant way of life and to participate in immoral activities.

Miller indicates that the tv preachers are no much better than the Popes, and are making use of the susceptible to improve themselves. This quote is an alerting to those who are considering contributing to these preachers, as it recommends that their cash might not be going to an excellent cause.
