>>b. Even if true I doubt that any stomach staple would cost as much as $100,000.
>
>...I've spoken to people, well actually one, whom I respect highly...one who keeps his head and he had seen and spoken with Mar Bawi before any surgery and Mar Bawi addmitted to him that he was going to get the surgery...that he couldn't seem to control his eating...and this fellow has seen Mar Bawi since and saw the change and even says that he thinks Mar Bawi has gone too far in the other direction...so, the surgery is a fact. And it certainly COULD cost that much...even if he had medical insurance it still COST that much. But ALL priests get an allowance...and being morbidly obese is a serious and life threatening condition..and I believe Mar Bawi had serious heart problems...so that his stomach staple is hardly cosmetic...but life-saving.

### Well I stand corrected. I can't believe that you guys pay so much for your health care. I've grown up in Australia where we are used to getting universal health care for everyone rich and poor.

>>c. Why would he use church money for this. Doesn't the church pay our priests and bishops Medical insurance? Why didn't they pay for this?
>
>...I don't think it's significant that he had this surgery or who paid for it...what is tragic is the amounts of money that will be and has been spent on lawyers...when that money could have been put to better use.


### I have it on good grounds that Mar Dinkha will not allow this mess to continue past April. He most likely realises tbat the costs of court action even before it starts will be $750,000. Then you throw in 8 lawyers at $80K per lawyer for approxiamtely 2 years and the total is going to be around $2 million!
This is Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) and the entire CofE will bankrupt itself in this battle for the next Patriarch.
