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.

And $20,000 is nothing compared with, say, that fancy mansion recently purchased by Bp. Williamson here in the U.S.

I note that you do not dispute my representation of the funds borrowed from Fr. Voigt.  Nor, apparently, does anyone else on this unenlightened and deplorably dull topic.  $20,000 may be a drop in the bucket by your estimate.  But it means quite a bit to a priest whose personal savings were practically wiped out.
BTW, Matthew, did you happen to see my last post, and are my suspicions confirmed, or was I in error?

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

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.

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