WHO'S ON THIRD ?
They say you can't make this stuff up, but this Connecticut story is so bizarre that it should be in a spoof website, not a news website, or better yet in an afternoon soap opera.
Homosexual lover. Dog in designer duds. Buying a condo with parish funds. A bookkeeper who may or may not be an accomplice to theft. A priest on suspension. His replacement confirming some of the charges. A parish threatening to take away the single-mother bookkeeper's healthcare benefits to get her to shut up. Private detective paid for out of private funds of bookkeeper and a priest. Bookkeeper getting a divorce. Cover-up. A whistleblower lawsuit. Did I leave anything out? This one seems to encapsulate all of the Catholic scandals into one packaged example. Are we sure it's not satire after all?
If you don't laugh, folks, you cry.
