Last month a Virginia priest was indicted for allegedly embezzling $600,000 from two Catholic churches--in part to help support the woman and three children he had been secretly living with.

A staunch opponent of the Vietnam War, he was elected in 1970 (with the help of campaign aide John Kerry and the slogan "Father Knows Best"). He charmed, and sometimes cowed, colleagues with his clerical clothing--he said he had no other suits--and was the first to call for Richard Nixon's impeachment, over the U.S.'s secret bombing of Cambodia.
