Not everyone is a fan in thief priest case

I aim to please, but you can't please all the people all the time. Or, in my case, most of the time.

This is one of the many responses I have received regarding the Monsignor Kevin McAuliffe theft case. Hey, it's only 650K.

Enjoy at my expense:

Dear Mr. High and Mighty,

I am a parishioner at St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton.  I was appalled by your article about Monsignor Kevin.  You should be ashamed of speaking so harshly about a man who has dedicated his life to helping others and fell from grace because of loneliness  and depression.  Perhaps you should try living a life of celibacy and relative isolation for a while and see how your psyche responds to temptation around you – especially gambling that is such a ready vice in Vegas.  People make mistakes – yes, sometimes big ones!  Your lack of understanding is only outdone by your lack of compassion. Whether in a position of “trust” or not, Monsignor Kevin is a human being – subject to all the failings that come with that.  Many in our faith have compassion for him.  I am certainly one of them.  However, I feel no mercy for you.  May the Lord repay you for your insensitivity and inability to forgive rather than judge God’s servant.  I know the Lord has forgiven Monsignor Kevin.  I pray he never forgives you for your lofty arrogance.  Perhaps you should be reminded : “there, but for the grace of God, go I.”
