I'm not offering any new insights here, but the gist of the story was them being rather poor. Which is totally unrelated to their faith and has everything to do with them needing a wood stove to heat their house and not being able to afford any smoke detectors or other fire precautions.
The whole thing is on the same lines as some moron asking me in a very hot summer with many heat casualties among the elderly, why they hadn't got air conditioning. Uhm, maybe because stuff like that costs money?
[My bold.]
But wait, maybe they were poor because of the money the church fleeces from the flock to pay for their pedophile shock trooper-priests?
