Yeah, Jesus in the Bible seemed fanatically against any material possession.
Thus bishop Fulton Sheen got himself in a lot of trouble with the Catholic Church because he wanted to gift some of the Church's land to be turned into a residential area for black people.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
