>the property tax on that in CA would run $62,500 per year...a sum that would be more than most pastors earn, I would imagine, and certainly enough to make a decent living out of, and even afford a decent home

I accept your arithmetic, but it has nothing to do with anything.

Unlike Morality, numbers are relative. These may be big numbers to you, but not to someone else. I repeat, would it be OK if a $5M home resold for $10M in a few years? Would Jesus say then that he was a good and wise steward for so managing his affairs?

More like, good luck trying to get through that needle gate with your camel laden down with all those ill gotten gains. These people are shams, they beg for money and produce nothing whatsoever for it. This is not God's work, this is blasphemy.
