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.

are Dr. King and Dr. Jeremiah correct in saying that 11:00 am Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in America, This is at least the third time I have asked you this directly why are you so terrified to answer?
“Are these good men wrong, don’t try and use red herring arguments. Make a declarative staement, Have a spine, and I am not going to let this go”
First you must qualify the comment that PROTESTANTS ARE RACISTS that you made - right after saying “Again the answer is not implied”
Your ridiculous attempt to run away from your words when you did not qualify them - in fact you emphasized them.
You meant exactly what you said - you believe all Protestants are racists.
If you wish to withdraw the statement (I would advise you do so - this statement will haunt you) then please do so for your own sake.
“Are these good men wrong, don’t try and use red herring arguments. Make a declarative staement, Have a spine, and I am not going to let this go”
Once again, let me point to the post to you from me. I clearly stated what church I belong to.
It has no earthly organization, some of the members are scattered throughout different “organized” religions but many belong to no earthly organized religion whatever.
The true Church is the collection of true believers in Jesus as Lord and Savior who have renounced any man made or pagan practices.. Those who have put their full faith and trust in Jesus alone as their Savior and Lord with all that entails.
Is it so hard for you to comprehend that the true church is not contained in any one of the organized religions of today?
I answered your question the first time. You will not qualify your statement about all Protestants being racist - so you simply do not like my answer.
Again, you need to see your priest about your twisted interpretation of Catholicism. He will help you.
Point to the post where you said that they were correct or incorrect. You never said it as a declarative statement, you danced around it trying to put the onus on me.
Are they correct or are they incorrect, Grow a spine!
His name is Kevein Grey...don’t associate this disgrace and scandal to the faith with any other name than himself.
“Point to the post where you said that they were correct or incorrect. You never said it as a declarative statement, you danced around it trying to put the onus on me.
Are they correct or are they incorrect, Grow a spine!”
You replied to it. You know I answered. You must withdraw your statement that all Protestants are racist. For your own good. That statement discredits you and anything you have to say - now and in the future and is simply foolish.
Withdraw the statement.
Still waiting on you big guy.
“Still waiting on you big guy.”
Silly boy you got your answer - scroll back and find it.
You have an unfinished task, my friend. Do the right thing for yourself. Otherwise don’t post to me ever again, as your particular brand of intolerance is unacceptable in a polite society. I’ve given you enough chances. You’ll get no more from me.
“Still waiting on you big guy.”
““Still waiting on you big guy.””
“All Protestants are racists”
Any more gems of ignorance you wish to immortalize?
And yet no documentation of me actually saying this. Yawn!
“And yet no documentation of me actually saying this. Yawn!”
Yet, it’s on this very thread - with emphasis.
Cite the post or stop making things up.
Still waiting on you to say if you disagree with Dr. King, cit that post as well if you claim you relied already.
Now, both of you, stop making the thread "about" yourselves. That is "making it personal."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
And I am saying drop it. The source at post 123 was quoted earlier, you object to the reading of it. Enough said on both sides. Return to the issues.
Let’s look at your post:
“I want to know why the poster would ask a question like that - it reflects a therapist-load of bitterness and spite, because the poster pretends not to know what he/she is doing.”
Where did the poster “clarify” that you were correct?
