The recently retired Archbishop of Galveston Houston drove a midsized Ford 4 door sedan product. My car cost more than his.

There is a 35 year old Baptist minister who shops at Neiman Marcus and Saks for his suits.

I'm sure every pastor/priest is different. MY opinion is that they should all be modest in their dress, their cars, their homes, etc. Nobody NEEDS to flaunt their wealth when they're supposed to be serving God. I think it's fine to HAVE wealth and good paychecks because they're worth it if they serve God but they don't have to be extravagent. It always looks bad. Humility always looks good on any servant of God.
