The archdiocese receives a $15 million dollar donation and he uses 2.2 million of it to build himself a house.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta has apologized for building a $2.2 million mansion to use as his home, a move that made him the object of derision and complaint, and said he may sell it.
Archbishop Wilton Gregory said he took his “eye off the ball” after the archdiocese received a $15 million donation from the estate of Joseph Mitchell, a nephew “Gone With The Wind” author, Margaret Mitchell.
Pope Francis has been urging Roman Catholic officials to live simpler lives and has renounced the papal apartments in the Vatican palace for modest quarters in a Church guest house.
The Vatican removed a German bishop – dubbed the “bishop of bling” – last month from his job because he spent 31 million euros ($43 million) on a residence where fittings included a bath that cost 15,000 euros and 2.9-million-euro private chapel.
In Monday’s edition of The Georgia Bulletin, the newspaper for the Atlanta archdiocese, Gregory wrote: “While my advisors and I were able to justify this project fiscally, logistically and practically, I personally failed to project the cost in terms of my own integrity and pastoral credibility with the people of God of north and central Georgia.”
He also said in the newspaper column that the archdiocese would begin the process of selling the mansion “if it is the will” of Church and other advisers.
A Vatican spokesman said he had no comment.

I assume this has something to do with your sexuality?

99% of the OP's posting history has the same theme.
ETA: But I will give him credit: His threads usually roll on for numerous pages.

Not that I'm justifying it, but the home is really not the bishop's. It still Church property.
They need to sell it and pour that money into good works.

Yet you continue to read. What happened to the last thread? Things were just getting heated?

I hate threads like this. Why? Because, on the one hand, I despise so-called Christian leaders who are more focused on personal greed as opposed to their supposed calling.
On the other hand, it regrettably puts me on the same side as a Christianophobe like Toddy, who has a bug up his arse because the Christian religion tells the truth about his deviant lifestyle.

And what is that truth? That he should be put to death?

Like lots of rhetoric I see. From disapproval to death?

Why do you care? It's not your f*ckin money.

Just another good old fashion religious thread.
It must really bug you guys every time someone shows you how willing the lemmings of your religion are, just keep giving at that collection plate!
