¿Jesús era pobre? La verdad sobre el dinero, la Cuaresma y el cristianismo | Ep. 138

In this 138th episode of the Money Podcast, we analyze an unusual but powerful question: Was Jesus poor, or has his message been misinterpreted? In light of Lent, we discuss money, humility, wealth, power, history, politics, and religion. We explore the economic reality of Jesus' life, the financial support for his ministry, the key role of women, the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the legalization of the Christian faith, the origins of Protestantism, the Anglican Church, and even the creation of Vatican City State. A unique, thought-provoking episode, rich in historical context, to understand faith from an economic and social perspective. 00:00 Introduction: Lent, Jesus, and Money 00:49 Did Jesus Have Money?
