Embracing the simple life

Selling the Chateau by Matthew Cantirino

Philadelphia’s recently-appointed Archbishop Charles Chaput made news last week by announcing plans to sell off his official residence, an unexpected inheritance that came with his position. According to press reports, the manor house of over 13,000 square feet sits on eight acres of land and features a six-car garage.

The decision seems laudable, though maybe the house could have been converted into a retreat center? Or something else?
