It's not quite true to say that money necessitates corruption. Institutions grow up to protect practices. Institutions bring in the money to do that.

Bringing in money also risks bringing in people who don't care so much about the practices and the special qualities that the institutions were designed to protect. When such people take over, the institutions become corrupt, aiming more at the money than at whatever was good about the original practices.

I am not saying that LL, churches, the US government, or any other institution is corrupt, just describing how it might happen.
