The money goes to the parish (it's a "capital funds" drive, see?) for improvements to the buildings. He even lists two, probably the most expensive - adding a bell tower and retrofitting the church for A/C.
Not only does he leave that behind, he also leaves behind his salary, his accrued pension, and his insurance coverage. He basically comes to the Catholic Church with the clothes on his back.
You come perilously close to calling him a thief. Pretty hard words for a man who has left everything for his faith.
Au contraire, yourself. Either I wrote more poorly than usual or else you misread rather badly.
I'm quite sure he left every penny behind, and left all his pension, salary, etc. He was honest in his objections. I was thinking about his parishioners who had raised so much money and thought their church would be going forward in the faith under his strong leadership. He left the money, no doubt, but who will be his successor? Anyone at least as honest?
Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.
