No mention of the palatial residences of some non-denominational ministers. Ping!

The article was written by a Catholic wasn't it??? Why try to drag Protestants into your sewer???

If you guys want to house your bishops in multi-million dollar mansions, that's your business...It does sound as tho there are some Catholics who are not too excited about it...

I did read the article and was curious about something...A number of these bishops have 'priests' as their personal secretaries...A guy spends 8-12 years in school to become a secretary???Maybe I don't want to know what the job entails...

Not trying to drag anyone into anything. It was an observation ... nothing more. Let’s expand it to include any non-catholic faith.

Archbishops don't own their houses, they just live in them. Compare with Jeremiah Wright and his ilk who personally own multi-million dollar mansions in gated communities.

But then that wouldn't be fair, would it Junior.

to become a secretary >>

it’s not that kind of job where you type and file and answer the phone, the diocesan office has those. The secretary of the bishop makes sure the liturgy is correct where the bishop is about to celebrate mass, meaning the sanctuary is set up properly, the altar servers knows what they are doing, the deacons and lectors and Extraordinary ministers know what they have to do, the readings are in the right spot, etc..he also concelebrates the mass..knows when to remove his mitre.... every day they are in a different church, school, hospital, monastery, function, etc. The secretary is part of the advance team. That’s what the job entails, not what you are thinking.
