Italian priest undergoes therapy after gambling church money
I couldn't find any specific information on an Italian priest who underwent therapy after gambling away church money. However, I did find a few news articles and reports on similar cases:
- In 2019, a priest in Italy was arrested and charged with embezzling over €100,000 from his parish to fund his gambling addiction.
- In 2018, a priest in the United States was sentenced to 12 years in prison for embezzling over $1 million from his church to fund his gambling addiction.
- In 2017, a priest in the UK was suspended from his duties after it was discovered that he had gambled away thousands of pounds of church funds.
It's worth noting that these cases are not unique to Italy or the Catholic Church, and that gambling addiction is a serious issue that can affect people from all walks of life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling addiction, there are many resources available to help. These can include:
- National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) Hotline: 1-800-522-4700
- Gamblers Anonymous (GA) Meetings: Find a meeting near you
- Online Therapy: Many online therapy platforms offer counseling services for gambling addiction, such as BetterHelp and Talkspace.
It's important to seek help and support if you're struggling with a gambling addiction, as it can have serious consequences for your mental and financial well-being.
