As the total US priest sex abuse payouts, cumulative from 1950, pass $2 Billion, we are seeing more and more reports of financial crime within the RCC.

Evidence that a superior has been embezzling could protect a priest sex offender from exposure.
This story from the Darien News-Review is way creepy. Although blackmail isn't mentioned, someone must have known. Lead:
The Rev. Michael Jude Fay, who resigned last year as pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic Church after he allegedly stole at least $1.4 million in parish funds, pleaded guilty yesterday to a federal fraud charge.
Somehow the faithful keep donating. I guess that’s why they’re called “faithful.”
