Good paragraph.

**As I said, I am glad the press is holding the church accountable. I am grateful that they have uncovered bishops who have spent money donated by the people for expensive and unfulfilling projects. However, I do not approve of sloppy journalism that makes generalizations about the archbishops of the United States, completely ignoring the nuances of the matter. Burke seems more intent on insulting Catholics than holding bishops accountable. As I said, I am glad the press is holding the church accountable.

Some bishops have been poor stewards, including indulging in personal luxury.

However, the Archbishop of New York’s “residence” would be worth $30 million even if he were living in a cardboard box on the property: the value is the location. He could have a nice house on my street for $150,000, but that would make being Archbishop of New York a little inconvenient!
