Not really. It’s pure Calvinist
heresydoctrine of predestination where you know you are one of the Elect if you are wealthy and powerful. It would be almost impossible to imagine a more anti-christian idea but it’s been quite popular for about 450 years now.
I find the Prosperity Gospel stuff funny coming from the Evangelical Protestants given Protestantism’s history of not liking Rome because of greed. Ironically, it seems ot me that the Catholics today are much more concerned with the plight of the poor and less fortunate.
