Unfortunately, you are off-base with your remark, at least from my experience:
Let`s take a look at world history. Christianty has killed more people through history, than both world wars together... Money and power were and still are usually the prime motivators for war... Hm, contemporary examples are also easy, as now many people decide to remarry, they get their first marriage annulled (which many churches agree rather eager to do, otherwise they would loose membership...). So I do believe that money is the prime motivator for christian leadership to bend the rules and to show tolerance, etc...
In regards to the YMCA money issues. Let me please clarify, as I did not do a good job about this before. I am aware of several individulas who teach MA`s at YMCA`s, and it seems to be the general rule that the YMCA`s take one third of the tution which the students pay to the instructors. You are correct that the instructors do not get charged directly, however the YMCA receives financial compensation for the use of their facilities...
