a Not the Onion moment for sure:
A California restaurant had an individual impersonate a priest to encourage employees to confess their “sins” against their employer, but the man has no links with the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, a diocese spokesman said.
The U.S. Department of Labor on June 12 said the use of the supposed priest was “among the most shameless” of corrupt actions employers have used against employees. The situation concerns the company Che Garibaldi Inc., which operates two Taqueria Garibaldi restaurants in Sacramento and one in Roseville. The company and its owners and operators have agreed to a federal settlement after allegations of various labor law violations.
What is WRONG with people?? Who comes up with ideas like this and then puts them into action?
Yet another reason to refuse to bow to religious authority. Humans aren’t responsible enough to wield that authority, and charlatan’s are too easy to come by.
