Dear Notwithstanding,

"You are treating this as though he is buying his own property with other people's money, when in fact he is simply a steward of the title to the property - a property which he will only temporarily occupy."

Hey, stop making sense.

Don't you know that the archbishop who built the rectory/mansion where Cardinal O'Connor lived may be burning in hell for not using that money to feed poor hungry children in the slums of New York City??

Heck, we may have to worry about the fate of poor ol' Cardinal O'Connor! He didn't sell off that mansion, obviously worth many millions of dollars, and build swimming pools for poor children, and keep open failing Catholic schools!! Mercy me!

Oh wait, I forgot, swimming pools are "sybaritic". Well, how about we just give a bunch of poor kids sprinklers that they can run through?? I hope that isn't too sinful! All those millions for St. Pat's rectory could have supplied a lot of sprinklers! How 'bout it? Whaddaya think??

Dear Sinkspur,

Out of curiosity, why did you suggest St. Pat's rectory as a model for simple living?
