About
St. Peter Chaldean Catholic Cathedral, located in El Cajon, California, serves a Chaldean Catholic community. The cathedral is currently newsworthy due to embezzlement and money laundering charges filed against its former bishop. The bishop is accused of taking over $270,000 from the parish. Recent developments include the bishop's resignation, which was accepted by Pope Leo XIV, and his plea of not guilty to the charges. The Vatican announced the resignation after the bishop's arrest. This situation is significant as it involves allegations of financial misconduct within a religious institution and has led to the resignation of a high-ranking church official.
