More Catholic Hands in the Till
“Former St Joseph (Catholic) Academy bookkeeper Colleen Kempf will serve four years in prison for stealing about $500,000 from the school she and her daughters attended.” This was reported in the Oct 3 Cleveland, Ohio Plain Dealer, in an article titled, “St Joseph Academy Ex-Bookkeeper Colleen Kempf Gets Four-Year Term for Thefts.”
Since the sex-abuse scandal broke six years ago, people aren’t trusting the Catholic Church and its organizations as they used to. Increased financial audits of Catholic institutions are uncovering all sorts of thefts, corruption, and kickbacks.
Comment – We can only wonder how much money has been stolen over the past decades by insiders of Catholic institutions!
The judge, “Ordered her to repay $445,000 she skimmed over six years from various accounts at the Catholic high school for girls…After her release, she’ll be on probation for five years or until she makes full restitution to the school’s insurance company.”
“But Kempf never seemed sorry for what she did, (the) school president…told the judge…’I hope you consider her lack of remorse and her unwillingness to re-pay what she’s taken.’”
Kempf’s defense? She blamed her actions on her “untreated bipolar disorder.”
Comment – That’s a laugh!! With a half million bucks she could have gotten all the treatment she needed!
Another comment – If she had been a priest, she would have been well protected. But, the Roman clergy has no problem in throwing the laity to the dogs, especially where money is concerned!
Please keep praying that God expose the wickedness of Rome for all to see, and that many Catholics be granted the grace to forsake Catholicism, confess it as sin, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
