Records show the Diocese of Las
Cruces loaned its former contract attorney $385,000, but the money won't be
easily recovered.
Former general counsel Daniel Dolan died in August and
his widow has since sought bankruptcy protection. An attorney disputes
that the church loaned money to Dolan, but noted that money was advanced to the
lawyer and says the matter is under investigation.
Over the summer, Bishop
Ricardo Ramirez disclosed that between 2004 and 2009 unauthorized loans
totaling $1.9 million had been "appropriated" from a parish
investment plan for "legitimate purposes," but without the knowledge
of the bishop or the diocesan finance council.
