Vatican orders freeze on Pallottine Fathers assets
The Pallottine Fathers face a Vatican backed moratorium on all investments and loans after Very Rev. Nicholas Gorman ordered audits and required consultation before any new moves. The Baltimore-based order, under Archbishop William Borders, sees Vatican direct involvement amid fundraising and investment scrutiny, including Florida and Maryland holdings and a $54,000 loan tied to Maryland political allies. The audit aims for public release around March 1 as Maryland officials also review the matter.
