Bishop of Bling, American Edition
There is something in the liberal mindset that allows them to PREACH a good game about taking care of the poor while actually doing nothing about it. That is the responsibility of some one else, or better yet - the government.
Remember the stink raised by this?
Bishop Edward K. Braxton of Belleville, Ill., accused of misusing money from two special funds, apologized Jan. 22 and said the questionable expenditures will be covered by an anonymous donor.
At issue were the bishop’s purchases last year of a conference table and chairs for a meeting room at the chancery at a cost of $10,100, and five sets of vestments bought for the Cathedral of St. Peter at a cost of about $8,000. For the former, he used money from a special ministries fund, and for the latter, money earmarked for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, a pontifical missionary society.
Well, he's got NOTHING on his predecessor!
A Georgia bishop has apologized for building a $2.2 million home using donated money earmarked for religious and charitable use.
Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory build the mansion on property donated to the church by Joseph Mitchell, the heir of “Gone with the Wind” author Margaret Mitchell’s fortune. Wilton tore down the building on the property and built a much larger house.
