He is certainly NOT engaging in bombastic rhetoric so the "schlemeils" will "cough up some more shekels than usual to his holy cause." "His holy cause"? Indicting a man for something he didn't say --- words you yourself put in his mouth!
And obviously, you have no clue whether he's eating Filet Mignon or the cheaper cuts of macaroni.
Think about that carefully before you slander good pastors --- or good anybody.
Think as well about this as well, the prophet's words which are the first, OT reading for the "Rich Man and Lazarus" Sunday liturgy:
Reading 1 Amos 6:1a, 4-7Thus says the LORD the God of hosts:
Woe to the complacent in Zion!
Lying upon beds of ivory,
stretched comfortably on their couches,
they eat lambs taken from the flock,
and calves from the stall!
Improvising to the music of the harp,
like David, they devise their own accompaniment.
They drink wine from bowls
and anoint themselves with the best oils;
yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!
Therefore, now they shall be the first to go into exile,
and their wanton revelry shall be done away with.
