When your pastor could house a dozen flood victims in his $10.5 million mansion and never even know they are there, you're at the wrong church.

Superficially, your comments sound as if reasoned. I don’t agree with leaders accumulating that much personal wealth off their church.
Is that church run well? Is it a thriving concern? Is it helping people in the community? Are it’s parishioners getting the personal and religious support they need? Are it’s parishioners having to bankrupt themselves so this man and his family can live like this?
Was this property worth considerably less a decade or two ago? Has it appreciated in value along the way?
There are many variables that could impact my thoughts on this man’s estate.
I’m not sure at all that he is evil, or taking advantage of his church members.
They seem to be comfortable with him, and they must know of his home.
That is really this pastors house? On the one hand I suppose religion is in some ways subject to free market rules and on the other why isn’t this taxable again? Maybe I’m mistaken and it is. I’d likely follow this man as an apprentice more than a believer in him.
