Basically means if you follow the church, your belongings belong to the church. As in you hand over the deed to your house to the church.

In concept it's supposed to shun materialism. In practice it ties people to the cult, unable to escape.

It's what it's the consecration of that counts here. Consecration of material belongings. Meaning members' material belongings are the property of the church.

It's like communism, except with personal property instead of private property.
