MATTHEW 19:21:
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be
perfect, go, sell what you have and
give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

How We Reported This Story
There are 34 active Roman Catholic archbishops in the United States. (Five are also cardinals, which means they vote in papal elections.)
To find where they live, CNN's Daniel Burke and research librarian Lindsey Knight searched public records and confirmed the archbishops' living arrangements with their representatives. CNN dug into state and local government tax records, most of which are available online, to determine the value of the archbishops' residences.
In several instances, no property values were available because the property is owned by religious organizations that are tax-exempt. In two such places, New York and Chicago, CNN hired appraisers to conduct Restricted Appraisal Reports of the cardinals' residences.
The appraisers considered the value of each mansion "as-is." That is, they didn't consider alternative uses of the properties, which could increase their market value.
