Archbishop Wilton Gregory recently moved into a nearly 6,400-square-foot (595-square-meter) residence. Its construction was made possible by a large donation from the estate of Joseph Mitchell, nephew of Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone With The Wind," the Civil War epic that made his family wealthy.
Local Catholics will not be content with his apology until he moves into a tent. Parishioners plan to sell their church and attend Sunday Mass standing in a dirt lot. The collection plate funds will be distributed directly to the poor at the end of each service. The homeless will be allowed to camp out during the week to save their place in line for charity. The Archbishop plans to host fund raising events by inviting donors to pitch a tent and sing songs around a campfire. There is already a waiting list of people wanting to "give 'til it hurts". The Archbishop is confident his congregation will find new life in Jesus without heat, air conditioning, running water. Inspired by the crucifix, a statue of the Blessed Mother, and a Tabernacle for the Eucharist.
An Atheist group has donated a Coleman pop up tent to cover the icons so they don't have to look at them 24 hours a day. As it causes stress to be reminded that people still perform antiqued rituals to a "sky daddy".
