Vänner,
National Catholic Reporter skriver i en ledare om ärkebiskopen av Newark, John Myers planer på att bygg om sitt sommarresidens till pensionärspalats. Sommarhuset med fem sovrum, tre badrum, hiss, garage för tre bilar och en stor utomhuspool är värderat till nästan 800 000 dollar. Som pensionär anser sig biskop Myers behöva ytterligare utrymme och inredning för minst 500 000 dollar. I tillbyggnaden skall det bland annat finnas en inomhuspool, tre öppna spisar, ett bibliotek ytterligare en hiss samt ett ”galleri” med panoramautsikt.
NCR skiver: Newark, N.J., Archbishop John Myers’ decision to expand his summer residence cum retirement home — already a model of luxury with five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, an elevator, a three-car garage and a large outdoor pool and valued at nearly $800,000 — is nothing short of an assault on the goodwill and trust of the people of God.
The 3,000-square-foot addition, at a minimum cost of $500,000 (it is reported that furnishings, architectural costs and landscaping are not included in that figure), will bring the total area of the residence to 7,400 square feet and the total value to at least $1.3 million.
The addition will house an indoor exercise pool, a hot tub, three fireplaces, a library, another elevator and a ”gallery” to provide a panoramic view of the grounds below, according to a report inThe Star-Ledger of Newark.
Snacka om klerikal kultur och om att leva i en bubbla utan kontakt med det riktiga livet.
