It is too bad that their priests cannot be a little more humble and drive low budget cars, the main priest bought a new car which costs like $43K, aren't priests supposed to be more humble? So sad, what do they do give one mass a day and what else? They make like $45K a year and live in a mansion with maids and all for free. If you want to live like a king, be a priest in Palm Beach Diocese.
