Leaders fail. I am from another State and I must say, I have never seen so many angry Catholics, or a Diocese with such a love for money. In the last 6 years here, this is what? The 5th priest to be brought into criminal or suspected criminal behavior.
This is fact and in itself speaks clearly of the Catholic leadership in Las Vegas. You have problems here. People, it starts with your Bishop. He has failed all of you. Not gossip either. Employees say this behind his back.
The writer above is correct. Addiction can happen to anyone. I will not be surprised if McAuliffe is in trouble. I stopped being naive a long, long time ago. The person above who said McAuliffe "built an empire" needs his head examined.
What a joke! Ditto to Anonymous, September 25, ! You said it very well!!! Faith is in our hearts and so is love! No building is needed for that to occur. No priest is needed to say it's there or it isn't. Anyone can pray and they can pray at any place and at any time.
No church is needed for prayer to occur. All you have to be is a good person and treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. I'ts not rocket science. The thought of asking for forgiveness from another person i. How can you look this person in the eye and ask for forgiveness when they have committed these kinds of wrongs??? SEAS is cold. SEAS is all about status. SEAS is all about show. SEAS is all about money.
To Frankd-Ed and all the poor but good people here who had McAuliffe on a Throne, I regret this and as one who worked for the man years ago.. I told you so. He is a thief. He lied to all of you on Gods Holy Altar. I suppose all of you will deny this also?
Vivona needs to go next. FBI now needs to audit his finances. I just saw him.. Oh, the July 13th Post above is laughable.
You need help whoever you are. This is your Holy Man McAuliffe. So father Kevin has a gambing problem like all humans commit sins fo all types. We should pray for people of God like him who struggle with addictions instead of throwing stones as if we were perfect.
This is not about throning or being a fanatic, this is simply being forgiving as Jesus told us to be. In this type of sin, the one who hurts is the victimizer as the rest of the parish even though victims will only suffer the desilusion or anger of what he did but it is he who carries the biggest burden which is guilt.
As far as father Vivona, relax people, relax all of you who have a hidden agenda about a priest who tells it as it is without sugar coating.
Crhsitopher's before I moved and I know in person several of the Byzantine families who are very wealthy and have made gigantic donations. I also have seen the books. Father Vivona and father Kevin were roommates and very good friends. Remember that addicts lie to families and friends so it is hard to tell most of the times if that person is having a problem.
Nothing on earth is hidden until God decides to uncover it. Let us pray for a priest who even though he sinned, he also did wonderful things for the people. No soul is transparent to anyone, only to it's Creator. Only God knows what is in the heart of a priest. No Catholic or blogger can ever know for sure. Jesus was not liked by everyone, even his own people, but he was never accused or suspected of molesting boys, hitting women, burning or stealing money from the Temple.
He was not credited for building a mega church in an upscale neighborhood or building an empire. He loved children. He protected them. He loved all people; Jew or Gentile, Roman or Byzantine, man or woman. He gave everything he had to the poor. He did not steal from the poor. He did not collect treasures of the world.
I could go on and on. The point is that if a priest is holy, he will be recognized for his holiness, in spite of his humanity. I have yet to read a blog, or hear a single Catholic claim the holiness of just one of the most recent cast of characters of our Sin City Diocese who have been accused or convicted; McAuliffe, Vivona, Kenny, Audette, Stoenig, Chenin, Mark?
I apologize if I have left anyone out. I am sure that there are many more as the Diocese has done their best to keep us in the dark. Thankfully, history has gifted us with thousands of books published so we don't loose hope completely describing the lives of holy men and women who can inspire us. I have yet to find an example of holiness among our priests and Bishop. There seems to be rumors and questions about most of them including the person who's duty it is to shepherd them.
Again, I apologize if I left anyone out. But there is hope. We need to stop settling and expect holiness! That will free us up to be inspired, so we will have no need to waste time defending priests that are, will be, or should be, in prison.
How many souls have our priests saved? They can't even save themselves. Iliana above: Delusional. Yes, she should drink the Cool Aid. If she is tied to Vivona, well It's OK Iliana that he stole and lied.
You need help. He never did a damn thing that's how much you know. He just happened to be there during it's growth period. He's a felon. A thief. If this was about some white guy from a civilian business firm or a black man who was addicted to drugs or gambling: you'd hang them.
You are one of those types, priest groupies. Anyone associated with Vivona is missing a few screws anyway. The guy is a big mouthed, greedy, bully. Tell like it is Iliana and stop acting like you are a saint. No one is. Certainly not Vivona or McAuliffe. How do you like Father Bob Kiefer now at your parish? He was our pastor for years. That's slightly less than 3 months. He is, as far as I know, suspended from the diocese of Las Vegas.
Just an update as I've been watching for some time now. The Las Vegas Badger is about politics, humor, sports, reality shows in Las Vegas, especially Pawn Stars and anything else interesting.

The diocese is using a certified public accounting firm to perform a financial audit, according to a statement from diocese spokeswoman Rachel Wilkinson.
The allegation involves only St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and does not touch on accounts belonging to the diocese, she said. John Vianney to be more specific. He has been out here in Vegas for many years. I would be shocked if we find out that Father Kevin did anything wrong. He is a good man and has a real quiet way about him, from what I saw.
Elizabeth Ann Seton is a church in Summerlin and is probably the richest church in the Las Vegas diocese. It's hard to teach humility in this Church when people come to church in their very fancy cars wearing their bling. I attended the Church for about 2 years but never felt I was really accepted by very many of parishioners, but I was accepted more at St.
Elizabeth than other Catholic churches I have been to. I have been to many Catholic Churches in Las Vegas, and it really is hard to be accepted- a lot of cliques At this Church, they do not have a rectory or parsonage. The priests live off Church grounds and probably in their own homes.
Hopefully, this had nothing to do with what is going on here. Elizabeth brings in a ton of money. It is very possible that someone besides Father Kevin did something wrong but they are holding Father Kevin responsible. For more on St. Apparently Monsignor McAuliffe is being investigated by the Feds and not local law enforcement.
