"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

This is actually how the megachurches justify themselves. The "lay money at the feet of the apostles" is now "give me your money"

yeah because the ken copeland types love to fancy themselves as apostles as they fly around in private jets... but old jeezy already rejected them for that:

Beware of the officials who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers.

Yeah, sure, Ken never told me that verse in a sermon
