Sunday Reading Reflection - Who are Today's Money Changers?

From today's Gospel, John 2:14-16

14 He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there. 15 He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, 16 and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."

Who are today's money-changers? Who today takes advantage of people's Faith and exploits their devotion in order to raise money for their own ends?

And what would Jesus have to say to them today?
