Well, without knowing the context you intend, i would say that they disseminate their creed.

No it's French for lying to other people out of lack of self respect.

Either Avarice or Cupidice would be more likely excuses for the lie...When ever they say it is not about the money, but about saving souls, it is about the money... Other wise, why leave home... There are plenty of souls to save and poor people to help here. N'est Pas???

@Fido,
Right. But they have this notion of souls in other countries not having any food/no home etc etc, as if our nation was the greater, how sad. We're so ignorant and self-important.

Yep; free food and clothes, lots of medicine and Praise the lord; all their problems are pushed down the line...
