Monks can connect the people and can make a lot of people success in a village/area. They simply get the money, makes something in the temple and live a simple life.
If someone argues that they are following the simplicity to attend nibbana, I do no think so.
If the village temple monk comes to your house, what is the first thing that comes to mind ? "There, he comes to collect money."
The monks in the village can connect/help a lot of people, but they simply does not do that.
And they always guide us to give, what if gangarama, kelaniya, etc. temples started giving first.
But Vatican is super super rich than we can imagine, and powerful.
