Did he just refuse to allow anyone to see the parish finances or did he just not publish them?

Both.

Just curious if any parishioner ever asked him about the finances and if he refused.

Many people protested his corruptions. Many complained higher up. Nothing ever changed.

Well, that't a sin, literally. Even here in Boston I do not hear of pastors like that.

The saddest part is that the few priests who are inclined towards financial mismanagement and the few priests who are inclined towards sexual sin have absolutely no idea how much scandal they cause. It is a perfect illustration of sin... like a pebble (or a rock in some cases) thrown into the ocean and the ripples go on forever. It's a blessing that most of us can go on and not question our faith in the Church - are able to separate the man from the Church Christ founded. I don't know how some do go on and some aren't able to..... it must be a grace from God.
