This is selling "indulgences," which is one reason that Martin Luther left the church. (I.e. one reason Protestant churches exist.) But the Prosperity Gospel isn't the Gospel. It's a grift. Suffering is part of life. Jesus said, "Take up your Cross," not "Take out your wallet."
This week, Edward Martin, the interim US attorney for Washington, DC, sent a letter to the dean of @Georgetown Law School threatening to investigate the school if it did not scrub its policies and curriculum of diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Here is the Dean's response. As a member of the Board of Trustees of Georgetown, I support this letter wholeheartedly. Jesuit education means care for the whole person, in both their spiritual and intellectual lives. And Jesuit practice often involves speaking truth to power.
"As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. For us at Georgetown, this principle is a moral and educational imperative. It is a principle that defines our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution."

"I've long wondered where my tax dollars are going but haven’t bothered to do the five minutes of research it would take to learn that all that information is already meticulously documented and tracked in numerous publicly available reports and websites."
