Msgr. Jamie Gigantiello stated, "It's causing scandal to the church," reflecting on the fallout from the allegations against him regarding the mishandling of parish funds.
In defending his actions, Gigantiello commented, "There's no written handbook we have that really clarifies all the diocesan policies," indicating a lack of formal guidance in the diocese regarding financial protocols.
Bishop Robert Brennan explained the decision to relieve Gigantiello of his duties by saying he had "mishandled substantial church funds and interfered with the administration of the Parish after being directed not to do so."
Gigantiello claimed, "I know many pastors have made investments with investment groups and stock brokers, without the approval from the diocese," suggesting a perceived inconsistency in enforcement of rules.
