But as opposed to too many laypeople they aren't left to rot in the streets. The Miami pensioners aren't exactly the majority. I'm sure they don't live the highlife in their old age, but as opposed to many others, they at least have the security of being cared for till their last breath.
So, we're in agreement that retired Catholic clergy are not living the high-life in their old age after 60-70 years of service to the Church? And we agree that these priests and sisters are being cared for by those whom they served?
Well, this has turned out better than I had hoped for.
