Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about. Was there a problem with the parish finances or did people just think there must have been because the priest was socially active?

The priest never allowed anyone to know how much money the parish took in. He never published an operating budget or accounting as the previous pastor did. He also overlooked certain irregular situations such as remarriage without annulment, baptism of those children, Holy Communion, etc as long as those individuals made significant financial contributions. He refused to give Anointing of the Sick to people dying in the hospitals because he couldn't be bothered to show up.

There are many more stories of his personal corruption. He was a friend of Mahony.
