“Did Kennedy enrich himself? Or did he put the money to good use”

Guarantee you that Kennedy died a rich man and that money came from preaching.

Catholic priests are not rich and plenty of them have to make a vow of poverty and have ABSOLUTELY nothing but the meager salary the church provides them.

Father Benedict Groeschel comes to mind. He’s a Capuchin Franciscan priest and best selling author who has NOTHING. He lives the life of the monk, like the rest of the priests in his order, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. The world is full of Catholic priest who have hardly any earthy possessions.

OK, can you show me us evidence of that?

Since you guaranteed it, you can at least show us the evidence. A mansion, a yacht, a jet that he uses personally perhaps?

I never attacked Catholic priests ( although there have been news reports of a few who were caught stealing money ). So you don’t have to make comparisons. There are greedy and virtuous people in every denomination. Let’s stick to your accusations of Kennedy allegedly loving money.
