About Bevalacqua's lavish spending, if he got a well heeled donor to front the money to make it happen without dipping into church funds, so much the better. To maintain a summer home, you have to invest in solid good maintenance otherwise it becomes a slum in no time. The summer mansion was sold to a family for their summer home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-58697944359795998572012-06-29T10:37:07.435-04:002012-06-29T10:37:07.435-04:00Has Archbishop Chaput finally sold his "16&qu...Has Archbishop Chaput finally sold his "16" room mansion on 5700 City Line Avenue? The Press Releases in January said it was 16 rooms, yeah right. I think there is a reference to the property over thirty years ago as being "34" rooms - another Press Release. But with offices, sleeping quarters for servants etc. it may well be at least 50-60 rooms. Too bad we only have the Press Office at "222" N 17th street as the only source of truth on that matter.M.McSheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05809255693603458058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-23440780910816200982012-06-28T22:15:49.206-04:002012-06-28T22:15:49.206-04:00Neil it's so obvious you are a born again Chri...Neil it's so obvious you are a born again Christian. I've no problem with that. It's none of my business. If Catholics like to pay for vestments and lawyers that's their business. I'd like them to not fund the hierarchy and give their money to the poor too. But first I'd like compensation for the raped. But I do wonder where's the Christianity in not reaching out to victims. Do you think that a wall exists between believers and victims? Who helped build that wall Neil? The Church sure but did'nt SNAP help? Before pickets go out in a labor or civil rights movement. Much conversation has taken place between the parties. Where and when did those conversations take place in this situation. I say never. We victims are still waiting for a dialog. Why were we at war with the Church without the preliminaries? Why because the Church needed a war to appear to be under attack. So it could be the "victim" not the raped kids. And who helped the Church by making war? SNAP. Any real victims' group would have organized victims first not last if ever. We would have come together first in conversation and if terms couldn't be agreed to then you decide picketing or what ever the group would collectively decide.<br> With SNAP unh unh. War, vigilantism, nary a single conversation. Could someone show me how that helps victims?jim robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021237370520134041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-2607009750285374032012-06-28T20:53:48.252-04:002012-06-28T20:53:48.252-04:00I hope that Bevilacqua's accommodations in the...I hope that Bevilacqua's accommodations in the after-life don't even include flushed plumbing!

Very rare, in fact, but I'm glad that he has the sense enough to dump the villa to help pay the Archdiocese's debt. Unfortunately, it won't pay the Archdiocese's monstrous "Debt to Society," but that's the topic of a different post! Allowing Cardinal Rigali to get on the witness stand in the next lawsuits might be a good start!JeannieGuzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822849361330012598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-31875842214564346702012-06-28T20:45:11.491-04:002012-06-28T20:45:11.491-04:00Neil: I always enjoy your perspectives, and the on...Neil: I always enjoy your perspectives, and the one about the millions spent, which could have been spent to aid the suffering of starving men, women and children was very telling, indeed. By accident, I discovered that good old Cardinal Bevilacqua had his own material designed for costly vestments at Gammarelli's in Rome. Is it not surprising that the fabric has two large peacocks, breast to breast in the center of the fabric. I guess they might stand for Bevilacqua's ego and alter-ego. The pattern is called "The Bevilacqua!" I wonder how many children his vestments, alone, would have fed?JeannieGuzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822849361330012598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-89051058446009496072012-06-28T14:33:37.478-04:002012-06-28T14:33:37.478-04:00Maybe Snooki will buy the mansion.Sorry, couldn...Maybe Snooki will buy the mansion.<br><br>Sorry, couldn't resist...Kay Ebelinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13753284586265566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-57732686021550786092012-06-28T01:17:33.443-04:002012-06-28T01:17:33.443-04:00I thought he said: "Judge not" Oh dear I...I thought he said: "Judge not"<br> Oh dear I sure wish The Naz wouldn't send such contradictory directions..... one could get lost.jim robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021237370520134041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-19497696348997100082012-06-28T01:13:36.144-04:002012-06-28T01:13:36.144-04:00I want to know what Aunty Mame would do.
