Homeland Security raided the Catholic Diocese of Jackson offices

LINK - Actually from very good reporting from the Clarion Ledger.
The Office of Homeland Security raided the Catholic Diocese of Jackson office investigating accusations a Starkville priest obtained money by lying about having cancer when in fact he was HIV positive and was sent to a Canadian sexual addiction facility for priests.
An affidavit by Homeland Security Special Agent William Childers was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Jackson. The search of the Jackson Diocese apparently took place Nov. 7.
The affidavit says Homeland Security Investigations have developed probable cause to believe the Rev. Lenin Vargas-Gutierrez, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Starkville, knowingly devised schemes of obtaining money by means of false and fraudulent pretense, through the use of wire communications.
The affidavit refers to Lenin Vargas-Gutierrez as Father Vargas after the initial introduction. A native of Mexico, he was ordained a priest in the Jackson diocese in 2006.
Childers' affidavit said the diocese had knowledge of Vargas' felony and concealed it by not making it immediately known.

Meanwhile, behind closed doors:
Vatican tells U.S. bishops not to vote on proposals to tackle sexual abuse, spurns lay and civil investigations

Glad the scum got caught, but what in the world gave Homeland Security jurisdiction over this?

Because it's not just about a homo priest.

The problem’s pretty goddamn big if they have a facility dedicated to this sort of thing. As in “sexually addicted priests”.
Easier solution with some of these bastards is Excedrin Headache .45 cal.

Assuming that is true, are there legitimate terrorist links here? Seems like more of an FBI issue on face. I guess the fact he's from Mexico maybe?

It's about predator homo priests. There are a lot of them and they run a lot of dioceses

Maybe more than a predator homosexual priest--a pedophile homeosexual priest who gave children HIV.

Probably a Democrat too.

Good! As a faithful Catholic I hope law enforcement gets more aggressive on the abuses people are making hiding behind their clerical collars.

I say this with all due respect, but the Catholic Church is a dumpster fire, baws.

A catholic priest named after Lenin and a Pope who worships the man he was named after. Strange times.
Get into the Eastern Orthodox or Confessional LCMS/WELS quick.

Really more concerning that this even exists...

There have been several in the US for years. I know someone who used to work at one.
