Denver, Colo., Jun 16, 2023 / 14:21 pm 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.
“Our own investigation found no evidence of any connection between the Diocese of Sacramento and the alleged priest in this matter,” Bryan J. Visitacion, director of media and communications for the Diocese of Sacramento, told CNA on Friday. “While we don’t know who the person in question was, we are completely confident he was not a priest of the Diocese of Sacramento.”
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.
During the Department of Labor’s litigation in federal court, an employee testified that in November 2021 restaurant operator Eduardo Hernandez offered a person identified as a priest to hear confessions during work hours.
“I found the conversation to be strange and unlike normal confessions,” Maria Parra, a server at Taqueria Garibaldi, said in a sworn affidavit attached to the Department of Labor’s lawsuit against her employer, the Los Angeles Times reported.

This is why quiet quitting now exists.
This is why I think gen-z has the right idea.
This, and my experience with business owners during and post covid is why I think the whole thing needs to be burned down and started again.
And I’m finding a lot of the root cause is with greedy boomers.
That is extraordinarily inappropriate.
No manager would even seriously consider doing this, unless he thought his workers were naive/ intimidated or stupid.
As any Catholic knows, during Confession, the priest is not supposed to be leading the discussion via interrogation or loaded questions.
The Confessor is the only one talking most the time. They are there to ‘confess’ what they now know to have been wrong. Any dialog is usually focused on specific deeds. He’s not supposed to be grilling you for data.
Most likely a plant of the FBI.
I agree. The notion that anyone has to put up with abuse so they can have a job is dead. Employers and managers and supervisors who get off on abuse are going to have to change.
We’re just sick of this pointless crap.
Does anyone here think this is funny? Disgusting yes but funny too. IMHO.
Imagine an employee figured out it was a fake priest and said: “Father its been two years since my last confession and I have committed adultery with the the wives of both the owner and the manager of the restaurant at the same time and at least three times every week since my first day I started work there. I could not help it, they both came on to me and threatened to have me fired if I refused. They said their husbands were wimps and never could please them.”
The Boomers I know are hard working folks who love their country. Check your friend list
I do. Compared to an employer who used to polygraph the staff this is just funny.
“He was an Italian anti-Catholic Freemason”
Here’s more about Garibaldi:
“In this letter written on August 6, 1863, Giuseppe “Garibaldi, the famed military organizer who eventually aided the uniting of the various Italian regions under a single king, offers superlative praise to Abraham Lincoln for his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
“The previous year, Lincoln had offered Garibaldi a Major General’s commission to fight for the Union Army in the Civil War, but Garibaldi had refused, busy at the time leading an expedition toward Rome as part of the Italian Risorgimento. A New York infantry regiment, the 39th, was named the “Garibaldi Guard” in his honor.”

“And I’m finding a lot of the root cause is with greedy boomers.”
Considering that Boomers seem to have produced a younger generation of whiny ingrates you could be correct.
Priests, or faje oriests, are in restaurant menus now?
Something’s very odd about this report
(Does McD offer drive- thru confessions?)
Or maybe not...
I’m not disagreeing. Boomers are about the only thing holding our movement together.
They are also the landlords, bosses and politicians.
The airbnb owners, financiers, car dealers. Restaurateurs and insurance executives.
Check for common denominators in three factors that are making this world really, really, shitty.
“As a cook, ave you ever violated the three-second rule?”
“Um, define ‘second.’”
