Pushing his priests to encourage their parishioners to give more money to the archdiocese, the cardinal asks at one point: "Why are we afraid to urge our people to sacrificial generosity?"

Perhaps parishioners are reluctant to give because their money will go to lawyers in endless court cases from victims of sexual abuse by priests that would never have happened if their bishop had had sexual abuse on his radar.  Perhaps those parishioners  believe that the money they donate will go to purchasing gaudy silk and lace vestments that would make Liberace blush.  Perhaps those parishioners are afraid their money will go into a lavish renovation of the bishop or retired bishop's residence.
