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.

...such surgery here CAN cost that much...easily. You'd be surprised what people pay for ONE day in a hospital.

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.

...they're asking for $250,000 in donations for Mar Bawi's legal defense...where is the moral defense? They all deserve each other...I say again that the entire purpose of religions that are sanctioned by governments is to make people stupid enough to be led easily...to believe any nonsense the MORE nonsensical it is,therefore requiring great big gobs of "faith". Faith is the grease that make stupidity run smoothly...they deserve each other.
