Huge amounts of money can be made by priests who recognize rich people lose their faculties as they near death and feel guilty for acts they have been part of in their life. The Catholic Church had instituted celibacy for express reason of making it so no priest could pass his fortune to any offspring (and they treated illegitimates as if they had no legal standing while also making any adoptees subject of rumor or charges about sexual impropriety). This meant that priest or cleric would in fact have to leave his estate to church. I like reading reports of Gregory of Tours. Make no mistake about it, there are financial opportunities galore in these spiritual high places, and some of good priests found ways to circumvent Church even after celibacy laws were made.

The first Bishop may have taught Sauniere some things about these illicit affairs and they may have had a public fight to keep attention away from some of their mutual hanky-panky.
