a once-weekly roundup,
usually on Fridays

New Pope has (you’ll never guess) a track record of inaction on priestly abuse
LDS church agrees to ‘settlement in principle’ of more than 100 sex abuse lawsuits in California
Florida woman accused of embezzling more than half a million dollars from church
Florida pastor arrested, charged with sexual battery of underage girl
Teacher at Louisiana Christian school is arrested for allegedly having sex with student
No jail time for 3 Nevada pastors who stole taxpayer cash in Medicaid fraud scheme
New York priest sentenced to jail for stealing $300,000 from church
North Carolina children’s ministry pastor is charged with exploiting minors
Pennsylvania youth pastor sentenced to 3 to 6 years for sexual assault of a minor
Of course, the vast majority of crooked or pervy religious leaders get away with everything. Of those that are caught, many are quietly reassigned to other duties, not defrocked or punished. Of the few cases that aren’t hushed up, there’s no knowing how many make the news, but undoubtedly I miss most of them, in compiling this list.
