“I’m not worth your Gucci?”
It does not matter who’s asking. The correct answer is always “No.”

I assume it’s about taxes. Someone more versed in tax law than I am can confirm, but I do know a lot of pastors’ expenses are provided directly as allowances or gifts, in order to reduce the tax liability on the poor pastor. This just seems like a particularly egregious example.

If he was just honest enough to represent this as a findom thing that’d be fine; it’s representing a findom thing as pastoral activity that really crosses the line.

It’s funny, I was just reading about how Jesus specifically criticized people for wearing rich clothes (in a way which isn’t obvious to modern readers unfamiliar with ancient Judean fashion). And not even rich so much as not-humble. Modern American Christianity really seems to miss out on how Jesus absolutely damns the wealthy, over and over again, in the strongest possible terms. I guess they’re too busy freaking about about stuff Jesus never said anything about…

Agreed.
It’s asshat’s like this that remind me why I’m not a Christian
I mean, what kind of congregation would they be seen as, if their pastor wasn’t gadding about town with an expensive timepiece on his holy wrist?
Or, you know, outright droppin’ some fools who weren’t sharing their wealth with the rest of their community… (E.g. Acts 4-5*)
*To summarize it: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” (Enforced by godly smiting.)
