Laughing, Father Renz denied the allegations of "living luxuriously" with an open bar available before gourmet meals. "We try to live a simple, austere.... I don't know what that would mean.... I just, I think that's an unfair judgment."

Hard to believe, but there are still pockets of cynical and obdurate laity in our renewed faith community who continue to withhold trust from the reverend clergy.
