Re: modern televangelists versus medieval cathedrals.
Another important difference is that churches and cathedrals, works of sacred art, etc., are for the use, enjoyment and appreciation of everybody, and for many generations, not just for one big cheese and his posse.
Also, if it really were about Mistah Dollah needing the proper tools to spread the Gospel? There's another obvious solution: he could appoint and train disciples in every city, so then he wouldn't have to travel so much and could fly coach like the rest of us slobs.
