	Milwaukee Priest Resigns Amid Poor Accounting of $75,000 Catholic Culture August 18, 2009 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=3812 Father Jeff Thielen, a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee who was ordained in 1974, has resigned his pastorate following an audit that found $75,000 poorly accounted for. The parish’s business manager also resigned. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that “the nature of the mismanagement was not clear … Thielen appeared to have overcompensated himself, which raised tax issues; purchased gift cards as thank-yous for staff and volunteers; and failed to follow the archdiocese's internal controls for financial management.”
