"If they have money, they have to spend it; I don't know why such a scandal has been made of this," Godinez said in a follow-up interview with the Televisa television network Tuesday. "If a drug trafficker gives, we are not going to investigate if he's a trafficker or not.
"Let me explain: We live on this, on the offerings of the faithful. And we do not investigate where they acquired the money."
I guess there really is no comment to add. Just amazing the jaw-dropping hypocrisy.
