Full title: Priest stole $1m from church for male escorts.... and designer clothes… but won't have to pay it back and could serve again
A Catholic priest who stole more than $1 million in church money and spent it on male escorts, Armani clothes and nights out at gay bars has been jailed for three years.
But the priest from Connecticut could be allowed to continue serving as a priest after he has served his sentence, according to his former church.
Father Kevin Gray, 65, the former pastor of the Sacred Heart Parish, Waterbury, was sentenced to prison on Wednesday. He had entered a plea of no contest.
He had used the money to pay for a lavish lifestyle, which included owning a secret flat in New York, which he shared with a man who he paid to go to Harvard University.
Prosecutors said Gray will not have to pay back the money because the Diocese of Hartford did not ask for restitution.

Creep, send him to prison.
and the catholic church wonders why the flock flees...because there are wolves in their midst.
That is a man who would spit in the eye of God. It doesn't get more atheist than that.
This guy is a real Father Flanagan.

I would say, he’s an agent of the devil sent to try to destroy the Church from within.

the other priest will continue as a priest???
I’m starting to wonder whether the gay movement purposefully infiltrated the church in order to destroy it from within.
exactly the reason I left the church! Oh, and of course all those child molestations and all the cover ups that followed
Born during the post WW_II baby boom era, the beginning of a TV in every home era, and the abandonment of religious ethics era.
There was (and is) a lot to learn from that era. I'd call it hard way learning.
But, to come into the community of G-D, and then betray him...wow, better to just stay away from it. That is one brave guy.
As Dante himself would say...
That is the Ninth level.
No stop signs, or speed limit. Ain't nothing going to slow me down. Like a wheel... gonna spin it. Ain't nothing going to mess me around. Hey! Satan! payed my dues. I'm my way to the promised land....
Without immigration, you would be declining. Per pew, a third of those who are raised Catholic leave the faith.
Unlike so many Catholic Priests, this guy has been charged. Not moved to another diocese to rape other boys and girls.

WHAT???
He thinks he’s got trouble now, just wait until the IRS gets hold of him.
