There is nothing inherently wrong with the love of money, morally or otherwise. If you were to make an argument against money, perhaps the best you could do would be to criticize what a person _chooses to do_ with money. Do they choose to impoverish others, or do they choose to move society forward?
Besides, I do not think that religion has a pedestal to stand upon when criticizing the love of money. What clothes does the pope wear? Are cathedrals built for free by those who want them, and then donated to their community? Are statues, and relics, and other icons made and distributed for free?
There are very few religious centers -- either individual or geographical -- that do not bundle themselves up in the comforts of wealth.
