Interesting set up, Church is indeed a mixed bag for most of us - and the issue of fundraising money versus selling artefacts / land is complicated. What is often overlooked is that congregants contributed to these things for a reason and selling them might be disrespectful as we don't necessarily know their reasons. However the church is often inconsiderate of people's struggles now and frequently expects too much from them when they have other responsibilities. This episode portrays many things wrong with the church, but it could have balanced that with the uplifting activities that many church volunteers do eg feeding the homeless etc. The establishment is so much more than officials, it's the stories of everyday people that really matter.

Just after Jean attended a church service. The bad tempered priest of he church is murdered and a scared heart is stolen.
Jean gets involved because she can find out just who might fence such a valuable item.
Suspicion falls on a businessman who wanted to buy a field next to the church. The priest did not want to sell. The new priest does. The businessman is going out with a woman who knows how to fence valuable objects.
There is a nice story about why the businessman wanted the land.
It was obvious that the priest have no power to sell land. That is in the hands of the diocese. A basic error.
Still this was a more interesting episode. The motive for the murder was lame.
