Personally, I would have had no problem if he had spent $200 million on the most beautiful cathedral the world had ever seen as a fitting shrine to the One True God as present on the altar in the Holy Eucharist.

I would. Excess is excess. Spend $50 million, and take the other $150 million and spread it around to the 235 dioceses so that bishops who've harbored abusers can buy oil and pour it over the feet of the victims.

That would be money well spent, both in its reality and its symbolism.

When you judge the hierarchy harshly, you claim that as Catholic, when I do you accuse me of schism and heresy. Interesting, very interesting. I note you ignored the Gospel and tried to claim that somehow $50,000,000 would have been Catholic and $200,000,000 is not. How odd. Have you donated 75% of your wealth to charity?
