The relationship between a priest and their congregation is built on trust. People hand over their money, their problems and sometimes their most vulnerable moments, believing the person in front of them will do the right thing. But a criminal case out of Pennsylvania alleges that one former priest took advantage of that trust.
Gregory Allen Madeya, a 69-year-old former Ukrainian Catholic priest, is facing felony charges after allegedly orchestrating a multi-year theft scheme that drained nearly $750,000 from local churches, a fraternal organization and his own mother.
