Letter to the editor: Diocese makes bad decision on pastor's resignation

I don’t believe the decision made by the Diocese of Greensburg concerning requesting the immediate resignation of Father John Moineau was a very well thought out plan (“Greensburg Diocese asks county detectives to probe failure of worker background checks,” May 28, TribLive). It has not only hurt our beloved shepherd of our church, but thousands of parishioners that he has guided over many years. He was never allowed due process.

I think the diocese, in order to appease the media, jumped the gun to appease them. How unfair to a priest whose only fault was loving and trusting the people appointed by the diocese to complete background checks.
