Denver Catholic Church’s Spending Questioned

April 5, 2014 5:25 PM

DENVER (CBS4)- Construction is underway on a multi-million dollar meeting facility that will include living quarters for Denver Arch Bishop Samul Aquila. Some are asking questions about how that money is being spent.

Pope Francis wants the Catholic church “Of the poor, for the poor” and big spending in other locations has caused some concern among the church.

The Pope has chosen to live the life of the messages he preaches, living in a modest guest house. He fired an Archbishop in Germany over living in a multi-million dollar home.

In Atlanta the Archbishop there apologized after moving into a $2.2 million home. He said he is putting that property up for sale.
