parsonmonious

Refers to the behavior of a clergyman whom his parishioners view as "stingy with the till", whereby he seems to not spend the church's donations freely enough for their intended purposes, such as to help the community's needy, perform upkeep on the church building, etc.

Ever since that new pastor came to town, the chiurch's bankroll has indeed fattened considerably, but the church has gotten kinda dingy-looking, and the low-income locals have been complaining of feeling ignored and neglected --- sounds like parsonmonious behavior to me!
