Love of Money in the Roman Church

[Scott]

Can anyone give me some good quotes on the love of money in the Roman Church? Seems like I have seen some from Jerome and the like. I am looking for descriptions of things going on that are over the top or out of bounds. Thanks

"I see that we can scarcely get anything from Christ's ministers but for money, at bishopping money, at marriage money, for confession money - no, not extreme unction without money! They will ring no bells without money, no burial in the church without money; so that it seemeth that Paradise is shut up without money. The rich is buried in the church, the poor in the churchyard. [...] The rich man may readily get large indulgences, but the poor none, because he wanteth money to pay for them." -- Emperor Charles V
