Philip Anthony Magaldi

(1936- )

Diocesan Priest Active in these dioceses:

Providence, Rhode Island Fort Worth, Texas


Current Status: Suspended from Priesthood

Location:
Fort Worth, Texas

Philip Magaldi broke several commandments in serious ways: by stealing from his parish, by abusing teenage boys, and by bearing false witness in an attempted murder trial. Like other priests, he was protected from the consequences of his actions. He claimed he pled guilty to theft only to protect his bishop from insinuations. His narcissism and sense of immunity led him to fondle a boy in front of a bishop. Only after a long career of abuse was he suspended, and he is now dying of AIDS.
