text: I doubt he'll get the customary "golden parachute" gig at the Vatican. Francis doesn't seem to work that way. He's left more than a few disgraced prelates (Nienstedt, Finn, etc.) to fend for themselves. (If they do find a spot for him, I wouldn't suggest the Vatican Bank.)
  
  Pursuing redress on the money is important, if for no other reason than that it came from the people of his diocese and they are owed an accounting. Beyond that, I'm not sure there's much the Vatican can do with a guy like this other than cut ties. They have no legal jurisdiction over him.
  
  The issue of children troubles me. I'm not sure if that's pertinent in this case, but it definitely is for many priests (some still active) who father children and, essentially, abandon them. It's a disgrace and the Church should, in justice, step up and help mothers and children in those situations.
