Diocese of Sioux City priest charged with theft, fraud

An Iowa priest affiliated with the Catholic Diocese of Sioux City has been accused of misappropriating nearly $70,000 in funds.

The Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that Father Steven McLoud, 65, of Fort Dodge, has been charged with first-degree theft and first-degree fraudulent practices, both felonies.

McLoud is accused of knowingly falsifying expense documents such as receipts and reimbursements of nearly $70,000 while serving as a priest in the Bancroft and Algona parishes.

Earlier this year, the Catholic Diocese of Sioux City requested that the Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office investigate allegations of misappropriated funds within the two parishes.

Man convicted after 33 pounds of meth found in Spencer home “The Diocese of Sioux City has turned over this matter to the Kossuth County Attorney,” the diocese’s communications office stated. “Father Steven McLoud is assigned to limited ministry in Webster County, Iowa. Due to pending legal action, the diocese cannot comment further.”

Shine the light. Get the sinner to tepent before he sins yet worse is the best thing for his soul.

Sowing detraction has a way of coming right back at you into the testicles, and bully for that too!

Satan wins both ways initialky, God wins souls both ways ultimately we pray.

It’s great that Protestants are such angels, isn’t it? Leaves you much more time to root out sinners in the Catholic Church. I’m sure Jesus approves of you trying to weaken another Christian faith. /s

I fully believe Protestants are doing wrong stuff, and Morgana is doing a great job every day posting those threads. He is a Catholic, and I support him doing that.

I am a Protestant and I am simply providing the Catholic issues of the exact same concerns.

My concern with you is that you apparently are blind to Morgana’s threads on Protestants, and somehow only see my same threads on Catholics.

Don't berate me for merely posting news. I support Morgana’s threads—why don't you support mine?

Morgana has posted these for Protestants, and I am fine with that.

You should be fine with Catholic and Protestant issues, as well.
