Show Notes
Bishop Emanuel Shaleta, leading a Chaldean Catholic community near San Diego, resigned after facing embezzlement charges. He pleaded not guilty to seventeen felony counts, including money laundering. Shaleta was arrested at the airport, with prosecutors pointing to missing rental payments and gaps in financial records. Despite support from his community, Shaletas lawyer plans to prove the claims wrong. The Vatican accepted his resignation in February but held off announcing it until now. Pope Leo the fourteenth appointed Bishop Saad Hanna Sirop as temporary administrator. Shaleta started as a priest in Detroit in 1984 and took over the San Diego area in 2017.
