New Haven, CT. — A Roman Catholic priest in Connecticut was charged in early July, 2010 with stealing $1.3 million in church money over seven years to use for male escorts, expensive clothing and luxury hotels and restaurants. The Rev. Kevin J. Gray, 64, former pastor at Sacred Heart/Sagrado Corazon Parish in Waterbury, was arrested and charged with first-degree larceny, Waterbury police said. Gray allegedly, used the money to stay at such hotels as the Waldorf-Astoria and on expensive clothing labels including Armani suits and Brooks Brothers, said Capt. Christopher Corbett. He also, allegedly, paid the college tuition and rent of two men he had met, Corbett said.

Yep, drunk and stupid!
England: The New York Post reports that if police in Manchester find this fellow,” it won’t be easy for him to beat the rap.” Why?

Is his hustle and flow any good?
Ft. Lauderdale, FL: A burglar used a crucifix at a Ft. Lauderdale church to break into the poor box. It appears he took the cross from the altar at St. John the Baptist to smash the lock on the poor box that was under a rack of holy candles.
