Your quote translated:
But but but but, The Protestants do it!
“The Protestants” have always had luxurious residences. In my town, the biggest and best houses are the former Presbyterian manse and several other former Protestant ministers’ residences. Since the mainstream Protestant churches are down to a handful of elderly people here, many of these have had to be sold off.
Meanwhile, the Catholic church has over a hundred people at daily mass, while the clergy lives in rooms (or, the case of the bishop, a couple of rooms with a reception room) in a 1960’s building where the offices are also housed.
How refreshing it would be if Roman Catholics could just defend whatever it is they think they are being unfairly attacked about WITHOUT having to bring “Protestants” into the mix!
