Would appreciate others’ takes on this- I’ve seen it being posted on social media and am not sure what else to say. I can try to explain how “the Church” as a whole is different from individual parishes. But I also read another article which states:
“The Archdiocese of New York for example, received 15 loans worth at least $28 million just for its top executive offices. Its iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue was approved for at least $1 million.
A loan of at least $2 million went to the diocese covering Wheeling-Charleston, W.Va., where a church investigation revealed last year that then-Bishop Michael Bransfield embezzled funds and made sexual advances toward young priests.”
What can we say to that?
