rich priests?

Question

I was watching the news and there was an epsiode called Enough that talked about rich priests who have alot of money and mansions and use the donations from the people to pay for it all. Well anyways they gave a web site where you can check where certain relegions use the donation money? Does anyone remember the web site's name? THX

Answer 1

I believe they were talking about ministers or preachers. The term 'priest' is usually reserved for Catholic priests. I have yet to see a Catholic priest that lives in a mansion, has a fancy car or a private jet.

Benny Hinn, TD Jakes, and many other protestant ministers use money donated by people to purchase extravagent items.

a couple of websites that track televangelist spending is:

http://www.ministrywatch.org

Answer 2

I'd check ABC's Nightline website. I saw the teaser for the program, but not the show itself.

Your donations at Catholic parishes are pretty safe. And if you are concerned, in the USA you can always designate how your want your donations used or for which program you are donating. Legally, they have to prove that they used your money that way.

Answer 3

Their were no rich priests.

The show was on ABC ... and it dealt with primarily protestant preachers who made huge sums of money and spent much of it on multiple mansions, personal jets, fancy cars, and exotic travel.

Here's a link to the related ABC News website article:
