Ask yourself if you would take a similar salary, given the size of the organization.

“Ask yourself if you would take a similar salary, given the size of the organization.”

A 4-star general overseeing the US Army with roughly 500,000 men makes $185K.

I think the issue is that a high profile Christian should be above reproach. Things that are ok at times should be avoided if it would cause scandal. (1 Cor 8, and here's a good verse from there 9 9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.)

I've stopped giving to certain Catholic charities due to salary concerns. There's one nun organization (a liberal dissenting one) where one of them is a president of a hospital group and is making around the same. However, the salary goes to her religious group and helps support retired religious in the group. (They're liberal, like I said, so their average age is probably in the 70's, as opposed to the more conservative groups who are averaging in the 20's.) So that I can understand, although I still don't like it.

I don't think a comparison to profit orgs is correct since it is believers who are expressing concern here, and they are comparing to other religious non-profits/charities.

Just a comment from a believing bystander.
