It took them seven years to figure it out?

     A Connecticut priest with a reputation of caring for the poor has shocked his parishioners after being accused of faking a terminal illness to cover up the alleged theft of $1 million from his diocese. The Rev. Kevin Gray, a 26-year veteran of the Hartford Catholic Diocese, is being investigated by the Waterbury, Conn., police department for allegedly taking money over a seven-year period from a savings fund established for the Sacred Heart parish, money that was to be used for building renovations and church debt, according to the police.

That was my thought, too, though I'm glad it was the Diocese that finally contacted the police.

Does the Diocese allow Parishes to have Finance Committees, which oversee the Parish budget, and make sure bills are paid, etc? If so, that committee should have caught something like this within the very first year, and dealt with it.
