A Vatican investigation earlier this year revealed millions of dollars misappropriated by Bransfield to spend on a lavish homosexual lifestyle, which also included alleged homosexual assault of priests and seminarians.

The investigation showed that Bransfield spent $100 a day on flowers, $1,000 a month on alcohol, employed a personal chef and chauffeur, and spent $2.4 million on first-class travel — all using diocesan funds.

He also spent $4.6 million on a renovation of his living quarters — all while bishop of one of the nation’s poorest dioceses.

Proof is needed regarding this claim and it is disgusting if it is true. God help his soul –

There is plenty of proof, this has been an on-going investigation.
The current Bishop has asked that Bransfield agree to these terms certain terms.
A quick Google search will bring up the latest news.

Yeah, Bransfield is a bad apple through and through unfortunately.
He’s been extensively investigated by Archbishop Lori of Baltimore (who is a good guy).
He should have been stopped long before it got to this point, and the real question is why he wasn’t.

No thanks… I believe you now and I have much better things to do than read about his boring, destructive, sins. I will just keep being Catholic, and pray for the conversion of sinners.
