There is an old song that asks, "Sinong Makakapaghihiwalay sa atin sa pag-ibig ni Kristo?" taken from Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ (God)?
Well in the Gospel reading on the Cleansing of the Temple, the moneychangers and the merchants who sell their wares so that people can offer sacrifices are the ones who serve as gatekeepers to God. Sort of an entrance fee to allow people to worship, I guess. A form of economic exclusion.
