Well, I guess conservative Christians would say that God is not in the godless New York that tolerates homosexuals and abortions.
While liberal Christians could see these thieves did this bishop a favor by freeing him of the sinful and greedy wealth that he should have given to the poor. Now all that bishop needs to do is forgive the thieves and he is a "bigger man" in the eyes of God, while the thieves get the curse of accumulating the wealth.
That's how it is with Christianity - or should I say cognitive bias.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
