Gambling can take its' toll on anyone and priests are no exception.
A long-serving pastor of a Roman Catholic parish suspected of using church money to feed a gambling habit has been permanently removed from his parish.
The pastor, the Rev. Patrick Dunne, of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in White Plains, took a “very significant amount of church money” because of a “very powerful” gambling addiction, Msgr. William Belford told parishioners.
Although he took a vow of poverty, he could not resist the temptation of going for the gusto.
