I know in Canada, you can be convicted of a crime, such as buying a $5000 television for $800. You should know something is wrong there.

Maybe thats the reasoning being used here?

Makes no sense, what church asks parishioners where they got the money they donate?

Also was fraud this guys only source of income? Maybe the church can claim that the money came from his legitimate job.
