The Priest Plays - and the Laity Pays!
Catholics in the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut will have to cough up an extra $200,000 to cover for the spending habits of Father Michael Fay, who resigned from St John Catholic Church in Darien, Connecticut on May 18.
This was reported in the Stamford, Connecticut Advocate, in a June 18 story titled, "Bookkeeper Details Priest's Spending Spree." Here are some details on how Father Fay spent his church's money:
"During a single week in November, for example, Fay spent $2,800 at Cartier in New York, $2,300 at the Polo store in Philadelphia, $1,400 on designer men's wear at the Ermenegildo Zegna Boutique in New York, $1,200 at the Tumi luggage store on Madison Avenue, and $473 on tickets to the Broadway production of 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,' according to credit card records."
"Fay...purchased airline tickets for his lover, Clifford Fantini of Philadelphia, and bought ads promoting Fantini's wedding planning business."
"Many of the items Fay bought with the parish's American Express card were purchased in Philadelphia, where Fantini owns a condominium."
According to a July 9 New York Times article titled, "Before the Downfall of a Priest, a Fondness for the Good Life:"
"Father Fay and his friend from Philadelphia, Cliff Fantini...jointly bought a $449,100 condo in Ft. Lauderdale (Florida). Furnishings and monthly cable bills were charged to the parish. The two men are also listed as tenants of a luxury apartment on East 63rd Street in Manhattan. Mr. Fantini...also stayed at the rectory for extended periods."
Not surprisingly, "lay" members of the parish finance committee did not return phone calls.
Comment – Oh well......Fay can now spend more time jetting around the country with his boyfriend. I'm sure they'll have "a gay old time!"
Catholics still believe that perverts like Michael Fay have the power to command Christ to turn Himself into wafers and wine. Does Christ really bow to the will of such men??
We thank God for continuing to expose the wicked and base nature of the Roman priesthood. Please pray for Catholic conversions.
