Catholic Church leaders say a phony priest has been making
the rounds in Northern California, going into people’s homes, celebrating mass and possibly asking for money, according to CBS Sacramento.The Sacramento Diocese says Javier Posada is pretending to be someone he’s not - a Roman Catholic priest or bishop.
The Diocese believes he’s focusing on the Spanish-speaking community and has been in Vallejo, Gridley, and possibly the Sacramento area.
“My experience is a lot of people in the Mexican-American and in the Latino communities is, they’re very welcoming, and they enjoy being around their priest, and it’s like he’s taking advantage of their generosity,” Kevin Eckery with the Diocese told CBS Sacramento.
