I hate to jump to hasty conclusions,  but it does appear that CI scrubbed my last post from this (silly) thread.  I had challenged Tradplorable on a few observations he made.  Maybe I just overlooked it.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, Matthew.

Meg:

The one thing I appreciate about Fr. Pfeiffer is that he doesn't have a lot of money, unlike Bp. Williamson. If a true restoration is to be had, it should not have wealth behind it, IMO.

So that's it, is it?  Well, Fr. Pfeiffer did have $20,000 borrowed dollars from Fr.Voigt.  Father claimed earlier that that sum was never repaid. I doubt that the OLMC chief has any of it left anyway.  He seems to go though money pretty fast.   Maybe Fr.P did restore the loan, but we have not heard that he did.  If Fr. P. does not have a lot of money, maybe we ought to consider the manner in which he uses the money he does have.

What's "It" exactly?

I was just saying that Fr. Pfeiffer is somewhat poor, and that's not a bad thing. I'm not saying that he does a good job of spending what little he was well. And $20,000 is nothing compared with, say, that fancy mansion recently purchased by Bp. Williamson here in the U.S.

Give it a rest on the subject of Bishop Zendejas' property already:

No unbiased, reasonable person would look at the pics of that property and describe it as a "fancy mansion."

It is a former Jєωιѕн community center which looks more like a rather drab, overpriced, depressing dump, than a mansion.

As for the $10 million pricetag, it was quite a frugal investment, despite the overblown properties of the northeast:

He gets a combo residence, future priory, retreat house, and seminary for that price.
Compare it to the Taj Mahal in Virginia, and you will appreciate the thrift.

The manufactured scandal on this point is an epic fail.

Nope. Not gonna give it a rest. And it's not a scandal, just an observation, though I suspect that you feel that are the only one qualified to make any observations.

I saw the photos of the interior which were posted. It's very fancy. Why don't you find the photos and post them? It's not a matter of what the property values are in any given area. That's a LOT of money, period.

Pfft....

$1 mil ain't squat for a multi-purpose commercial property in the Northeast.

And if you think that place is fancy, I must be living in the Ritz!

Please go on the internet right now, and find a commercial property within 100 miles of the current property, with the following characteristics, for less than the $10 mil:

-Room for 15+ retreatants;

-Room for 15+ seminarians;

-Personal living quarters;

-Room for a proper chapel;

-Commercial kitchen and refectory.

Let me know what you come up with

I inadvertently said $10 mil; it was only $1 mil.

Where did the money come from for the $10 million dollar mansion? You may think that $10 million is not much money, but I think it is.

Did Bp. Williamson just have that money on hand?

Or are there investors who helped with the financing, and if so, what do they expect in return for their investment?

Or, are there wealthy benefactors who helped pay for it, and what might they expect in return? Benefactors can be like lobbyists.

You mean where did the 1 million come from?
Well, the Jєωs bribed them, of course!!!
No wait, it was Menzingen who funded it!!!
Seriously, your suggestion that they were somehow paid off is revolting.
Do you really think 20,000 resistants can't come up with a million dollars?
You know how easy that would be for +BW to come up with???

No, I'm not saying that they were paid off...what does that even mean? And of course it wasn't the Jєωs or Menzingen. You are exaggerating. As trads often do.

So it was 20,000 residents who paid for it? Residents of where?
