Catholic church has a secret oil money fund in West Virginia — and one bishop is using it to pay people off

 

A shocking report Wednesday revealed that the Catholic Church is using a secret fund of oil money in West Virginia to help pay off cardinals and young priests one bishop mistreated.

 

According to the Washington Post, Bishop Michael J. Bransfield wrote checks for more than a decade under his personal account, only to be reimbursed by the West Virginia diocese. The alleged hush money totaled $350,000, with one gift as large as $15,000.

 

In total, 11 powerful clerics scored checks that were ultimately edited out of a final report at the request of Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, who oversaw the investigation. Lori was also one of the names who got a payout and whose name was removed.

Navy to Station Advanced Warships, Helo Squadron in Spain

 

Five years into basing four guided-missile destroyers in Spain as part of a larger European ballistic missile defense scheme, the Navy announced it will start to cycle out the warships for more modernized hulls..

 

The quartet will start to rotate next year with all four ships – USS Donald Cook (DDG-75), USS Ross (DDG-71), USS Porter (DDG-78) and USS Carney (DDG-64) – set to cycle out of Naval Station Rota by 2022.

 

They will be replaced, “with newer, modernized ships in order to posture the most capable forces forward in the U.S. European Command area of responsibility,” read the statement from 6th Fleet. “Additionally, the U.S. Navy intends to relocate a helicopter maritime strike squadron (HSM) to Rota in support of the destroyers, which will enhance the multi-mission roles of these ships.”
