Another Hand in the Catholic Till

Janice Labroski, former business manager of St Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Hazel Park (Detroit), Michigan, plead guilty on Sept 11 to a charge of embezzling $78,000 from the parish. This was reported in a Sept 13 article in The Daily Tribune titled, “No Jail Time in Plea Deal Angers Prosecutor.”

The article said Labroski:

“Agreed to the plea…contingent on her receiving no jail time. The agreement, which is determined by the judge and the defendant’s legal representative, calls for her to pay the church $30,000 at her Oct 16 sentencing…and the remaining restitution while on probation.”

Prosecutor Jason Pernick didn’t like the deal, but the defense attorney argued that if Labroski went to jail, she couldn’t pay back the stolen money.

Pernick said:

“She essentially stole money out of the poor box. I will monitor her along with the probation department. If she doesn’t repay I will bring her back and urge the judge to send her to jail.”

Had the case gone to trial, Labroski could have faced up to 10 years in prison.

I thank God for once again publicly exposing the corrupt nature of the Catholic Church. However, in a way it’s sad that God has to use the secular media for this, since the vast majority of Protestant pastors refuse to warn Christians about the evil nature of Roman Catholicism.

Please pray daily for Catholic conversions, and that Christ protect His true church from the attacks of Roman Catholicism.
