Costly Long Robes Worn by Catholic Leaders
I asked AI to estimate the cost of the garment worn by cardinal Timothy Dolan.
AI answered:
Just one of the long robes in this man's closet could have cost over $2,000. Are widows who make offerings at their dioceses aware of this cost?
What are they all looking at? By the hand sign, they can see who is on their side.
But Jesus said, "Whoever is not for me, is against me."
Estimate the cost of the long robe worn by this Catholic cardinal. Luke 20:46-47
AI answered:
Based on similar ornate gold chasubles from Vatican tailors like Gammarelli, estimates range €850-2,020 (~$1,000-2,380 USD) for high-end embroidered silk versions. This one appears custom and elaborate, likely in the upper range.

Luke 20:46-47 KJV |Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
