THIEVERY Hits Two of Amazon’s Top 100 “Best Seller” Lists

| 0 comments

Good News!

On January 10th, my latest book – THIEVERY: Catholic Church EXPOSED! stole attention.

#46 Amazon Kindle

The Kindle edition of THIEVERY ranked #46 on Amazon’s Best Seller’s category — Religious Studies-Ethics. Amazon Link.

#50 Amazon Paperback

The paperback edition came in #50 on Amazon’s Best Seller’s category — Clergy. Amazon Link

THIEVERY is based on my analysis of 97 (non-sex abuse) cases of $100,000 or more of theft, embezzlement, and fraud.

Thievery is Escalating at Epidemic Proportions

Like the sex abuse scandal, the bishops were slow to address what is now the Church’s second greatest scandal. THIEVERY documents case after case, where priests and lay workers used thousands of parishioner donations for their own pleasures.

Research projects that as much as $1.2 billion was stolen from the U.S. Catholic Church in 2018 and another $1.3 billion was pilfered in 2019. The number of cases and the amount of dollars has spiraled over the last decade, with an ongoing $5 million case of alleged embezzlement by a priest still in the Michigan courts.

Time to Change

Concerned people are seeking the facts regarding the current $1.3 Billion (2019) thievery crisis in the Catholic Church. Facing the facts beats burying one’s head in the sand.
