I've already received one public post and two private posts concerning
this, thinking that I was criticizing someone specific (and I don't know
ANY of those people), and I can think of FOUR Churches off hand that have
done this, so I don't believe that I am so far outfield with this.

I don't believe it is necessarily wrong, but I find it highly unlikely
that of ALL the world to preach the gospel, the son is basically handed
the keys to the Church as if it is a family inheritance...
