Former priest embezzled £20,000

Reported in BBC News Online on July 5 2007, we have the story of an ex-priest, who while a rector at a church in Ballachulish, Argyll, embezzled £20,000 from a £63,000 bequest made by a female churchgoer. Disturbingly, the same priest had been the only executor of her estate.

While he has now fully repayed the embezzled funds, it can hardly be said that a priest embezzling money is a sign of strong moral examples set by religion.
