I don't think the abp did anything wrong here. And he is not particularly my ecclesiastical cup of tea -

It's not HIS house - it belongs to the archdiocese and it's a multi-purpose building. The local paper, which is not just anti-Catholic but anti-religion in general (if it's Christian), has boomed this story and neglected to give people the facts. The usual suspects don't read past "Catholic archbishop builds $2.2 million house" and start foaming at the mouth.

Which is it, the paper made this up and it never happened, or the Bishop’s apology for his excesses?

Yes, maybe so. No matter how it all panned out, at the end of the day, no church leader, and especially a man of the cloth, should be housed in an expensive abode. Period. But that’s just me. In my mind, Mother Teresa set the standard for all!! Of all religions.
