Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory To Sell $2.2 Million Mansion

35. Really? You're gonna blame this on him being black? Nonsense.

He's been in his position for many years and is well liked by church members in his district; I am one. I've never heard of any negative talk of him until this. He is also the leading voice nationwide for preventing child abuse in the Church.
This wouldnt be an issue at all had they just built the living quarters as a separate part of the building. It should have been obvious that mixing the two and making it all look like his house would cause problems in the Catholic community. Priests, Bishops, etc just dont live in opulent surroundings.
It should've been built similar to a hotel; one building, but rooms are separated from the conference and banquet hall facilities. I doubt there would have been a problem with that, unless there was a lot of ornate and costly decorations.
But if you have evidence of any church members speaking ill of him just because he's black, by all means let's see it.
