	Las Vegas SUN: Not all of diocese's funds go to poverty fight
		Nearly 200 Roman Catholic dioceses nationwide receive no outside oversight over how they spend money that churchgoers donate in their parishes in order to fight poverty, church officials say.
		In the Las Vegas Diocese, that has meant that nearly one of every four dollars contributed by churchgoers and maintained in a local account has gone to pro-life campaigns, instead of toward the program's stated purpose to "break the cycle of poverty" and "build community."
		Nationwide, about $10 million from 195 dioceses goes into the national fund each year, while a little more than $3 million is maintained in local funds scattered around the nation, according to Barbara Stephenson, spokeswoman for the program's national office in Washington.

		Despite this sad turn of events, the American Greek Catholics in union with Rome continued to grow and establish new parishes; and, in 1950, Saints Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary was established by the second Bishop of Pittsburgh, Daniel Ivancho, for the spiritual and educational formation of a native clergy.

		The Byzantine Catholic Church is an Eastern Church in union with Rome; Carpatho-Rusyn in background and flavor, but indeed an American Eastern Church celebrating the Gospel in words, symbols, and action.

		The Rev. Bede Wevita, communications director for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas, said St. Thomas Catholic Church is not recognized by the Diocese of Las Vegas or Las Vegas Bishop Joseph A. Pepe.

	Dismissal of lawsuit against diocese upheld - Tuesday, 09/23/03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Tennessee Court of Appeals said that Davidson County Circuit Judge Walter Kurtz was right when he ruled in June 2001 that the sexual abuse of the two boys in 1994-98 came too long after McKeown was forced to leave the priesthood in 1989 to hold the church accountable for his actions.
		Church officials have said, since the two boys sued the diocese in 2000, that they ''acted to follow the law and the best medical advice of the time'' once they learned in the 1980s that McKeown had molested boys he met through the priesthood.
		Each of the two boys who sued the diocese over being molested by McKeown is seeking $8 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages.
