This seems a bit silly to me. Yes, the tours are "free", but the point is to leave donations in the collections baskets, if you can. Just like at mass. I'm sure if they were paid tours, you would be complaining that we charge people for it lol. Once you've decided to villainize an entire group of people, it becomes a case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't," and you'll always find things to complain about them because you've already made up your mind that they're no good.
(the "you" I use here is a general "you" and not aimed at anyone here specifically)
When your charity comes with strings attached -- including insinuating that condoms cannot help the AIDS epidemic in Africa, leading to how many untold deaths? -- well, it is devalued in my book, for having ulterior motive.
As with your post, it's the general "you", not specific.
Considering that your god warned that it's easier to get a camel through a needle's eye than it is for the wealthy to attain paradise, I find your church's attachments to material goods at best distasteful, and at worst hypocritical.

I believe you were asked to support this claim, not reiterate it.
