Priest Accused of Embezzling $5 Million From His Church for Lavish Estate

[yortsed snacilbuper]

A Catholic priest accused of embezzling more than $5 million from his central Michigan church spent about $100,000 on an indoor swimming pool and stained glass windows for his six-bedroom, 12-bathroom home, according to a lawsuit seeking to recoup some of the money.

In addition to the $45,000 indoor pool and nearly $55,000 in stained glass windows, the Rev. Jonathan Wehrle spent more than $134,000 on landscaping at his 10-acre estate in Williamston and other properties, according to the lawsuit filed by Princeton Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance Corporation, which insures the Catholic Diocese of Lansing.

3. I dont believe that diocesen priests take a vow of poverty

As I understand that is something done by the different orders of priests depending upon their protocols.

2. 6 bedrooms for a person who supposedly took a vow of chastity?

Well, grifters come in all religions.
