He transferred millions from Wheeling Hospital into what was essentially a personal slush fund and used that and parishioner donations to line his own pockets, buy jewelry, eat at expensive restaurants, hire private jets, pay for his liquor bill not to mention spending hundreds of thousands to buy influence from other clerics. Read the Intelligencer's October 28th article with a barf bag in hand.What makes all this even more disgusting is that last March the diocese found "no criminal activity" in their investigation of Bransfield. Who ran the investigation? Bransfield's gay amigos?
Read the definition of felony embezzlement. Isn't that what Bransfield did in moving millions from Wheeling Hospital to an account that he then used like a personal checking account? Keep praying that the boils on the body of Holy Mother Church are lanced and healed. It's time for Bransfield to face criminal charges! And when, for heaven's sake, will he be dismissed from the clerical state?
