85 percent of U.S. dioceses report embezzlements

A reader notes this Joe Feuerherd report in the National Catholic Reporter on the results of a Villanova University study.

Supported by a grant from the Louisville Institute, Zech [Charles Zech, director of the school's Center for the Study of Church Management] and Villanova accounting professor Robert West surveyed 174 diocesan chief financial officers. Seventy-eight responded.

Can't tell if the Archdiocese of Milwaukee was among those responding.
