Catholicism, people still give a percentage of their paychecks to an autocrat of a foreign city state so he can tell them what God wants. You'd figure after 1,400 years people would figure out they were getting scammed.
That's not too say protestant churches aren't guilty of the same things, they just haven't been at it as long.
