生臭いのは日本の坊主だけではない。
このワル面を見てやって欲しい。とてもじゃないけど、４０年間も｢神｣に仕えた人には見えない。｢生臭坊主」という言葉があるが、まさに彼にぴったりの形容詞だ。
アメリカ・フロリダには、信者から集められた860万ドル(約10億600万円）を、旅行やギャンブルなどに使って逮捕された、とんでもない｢生臭」のカソリック元モンセニョル（高位聖職者）もいる。
９月29日付、BBCより。
４０年間、カソリックの聖職者を務めた元モンセニョル(カソリックの高位聖職者に対する敬称）のジョン・スケハン（John Skehan 79才）は、信者達から集められた寄付金、８６０万ドルを勝手に使い込んだとして、フロリダの警察に逮捕された。共犯者のもう１人は現在、逃走中。
盗んだ金は、旅行やラスベガス、バハマなどでのカジノといった、贅沢三昧をするための遊興費に使われたとのこと。

Priests 'took US church millions'
Retired Monsignor John Skehan was at the church for 40 years
A Catholic priest in the US is under arrest and another is on the run after being accused of stealing millions of dollars from their parishioners.
Monsignor John Skehan, 79, was charged with grand theft, as Florida police searched for Father Francis Guinan.
The two men are suspected of stealing a total of $8.6m (£4.6m) from their Palm Beach church and funding a lavish life of property, holidays and gambling.
A lawyer for Monsignor Skehan said the figures were "over-sensationalised".
Court documents contained few details about where the $8.6m went, Associated Press news agency reported.
Tip-off
Monsignor Skehan served at St Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church for about 40 years and was succeeded at the church three years ago by Father Guinan.
Monsignor Skehan used funds skimmed from the congregation to buy property, Florida law department officials said.
"In Father Guinan's case we found he used it more in lifestyle such as travelling, visits to Las Vegas, casinos, in the Bahamas," a department spokesman told the AFP news agency.
A police spokesman said they began investigating the two men after a tip-off in 2005.
"We got an anonymous letter that started it all," police spokesman Jeff Messer told AFP.
Monsignor Skehan was arrested at Palm Beach airport after returning from Ireland, officials said, but Father Guinan's location is unknown.
"One is in custody, one is not. We're still looking for his location, we knew where he was until Monday."
Parish manager John Krolikowski told AFP: "We hope the parishioners base their faith on God and Jesus and not on men."
