On 17 November, written by Marie-Claude Malboeuf, La Presse published an article on the salaries of evangelical pastors in Quebec. From the outset, with a title of all that is more objective, "Pastors rich," Ms. Malboeuf tells us that the pastor's highest-paid Quebec wins the title of courtesy rich because that it earns between $ 80,000 and $ 120,000 per year. I have a qualifier for this kind of article peddler of useless information as hollow, and that looks that the department income and those who pay the salary of the pastor: gutter journalism. A pastor who leads a church of 3,500 members with 88 employees under his charge, can easily be compared to any corporate officer of equivalent size. Mucha know a worse one another CEO with so much responsibility that earns less than that? Titus news: It no longer exists in 2010, and is quite normal.
Simon Durivage win three if not four times that salary, and in the media world, all agree that earns a good living, to the point line. Nobody would write that he is rich, nobody! It is rich pastor who earns $ 120,000 and works besides his hours? With two children, a wife, a mortgage and a car payment? Make me laugh and sweat my fleet ....
But the opportunity was too tempting for the media. Some guys with a title of pastor suspected of defrauding their small congregation, and this is the opportunity to demonstrate to the populace in Quebec than in the middle of the Gospel, it never seems far from practical Suspicious disguised telethon. At least the tabloids, they do not form in a half measure by hiding the private parts with a fig leaf, their superficiality el cheapo deluxe is complete and accepted.
The article as such has nothing defamatory notice. Nor is it filled with falsehoods. No. But again, the title gives us a clear indication of intent. Just a title like that way, but perfectly representative of what the media in general think of the Evangelical Church. Just a little way, to help maintain this incorrigible prejudice that says that a man of God, Quebec point out, must be poor and dependent on the charity of others for something else in the feet in winter godasses of gaps.
We are a very small people sometimes ...
