ATLANTA, Georgia– Roman Catholic Archbishop Wilton Gregory decided to sell his new $2.2 million mansion after the people in the pews voiced concerns over its excess, according to the LA Times.
Pope Francis has recently called for frugality, and followers of the Catholic faith believed that such a mansion wasn’t in line with that standard.
Gregory moved into the mansion earlier this year. The 6,000 square foot home was built at the site of a house donated to the archdiocese.
The house was paid for by a donation as well, according to the Associated Press.
