6 thoughts on “Catholic Pastor steals $1.9M

  1. Shared mostly because of how awkward it is. Like I went to the school that the church ran for 3 years and we basically were told he was the best person ever. Not that I thought he was as good as they said but I didn't expect this.

  2. [T]he court has ordered him to repay $1.9 million to St. Peter’s Catholic Church. However, according to Heck’s office, “it appears the money has been spent by the defendant and there are now liens and mortgages on the real estate” on more than 30 rental properties Simone owned.

    Okay maybe Padre Simone was letting poor people stay in those houses for little or no rent.

    But that seems unlikely.

  3. If he skimmed cash from the collection plate throughout his career, how can anyone put a dollar amount on it?

    At least no allegations of sexual abuse, so he has that going for him.

  4. On the plus side, he didn't immediately fly down to the Dominican Republic and blow the money on underaged rentboys.
