The head priest and dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh is facing charges after being accused of stealing more than $1,000 in baseball cards from a Walmart.

The Very Rev. Aidan Smith was arrested Feb. 27 by police just after leaving the Walmart in Economy Borough, just outside Pittsburgh, with 27 packs of baseball cards concealed under his clothing and in a cardboard box, according to court records.

Smith, 42, was charged with receiving stolen property and retail theft.

Police responded to a call from Walmart security, who said Smith was in the store again after having stolen from it in previous days. Police said Walmart security video shows Smith also taking baseball cards each of the four previous days and leaving without paying.

Walmart valued the stolen baseball cards at $1,099.99, police said.

I'd bet a lot of money that the guy has done a lot worse than that, and just got caught at this. So many scumbags go into the priesthood as cover - they still (somehow) get instant status and credibility. I don't know how that still occurs.

It happens in every "prestige" profession unfortunately. I saw it in medicine as an MD and it disgusts me. They give any profession a black eye. Many have their license taken away, but others keep popping up. There are so many psychopaths out there, even though they are outnumbered by good, decent people, they do a lot of damage to our society. Following is a link to the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners Disciplinary Action site as an example: LINK

"The Very Rev. Aidan Smith " - Apparently he isn't living up to the "very" part
