FRAUD PASTOR Michael GuglielmucciANGRY Christians have condemned disgraced pastor Michael Guglielmucci's cancer hoax as the ultimate act of betrayal - and they want their money back.
His lawyer revealed yesterday that the inspirational preacher was receiving psychiatric help after confessing to faking a two-year battle with terminal cancer.Lawyer Matthew Selley told The Advertiser his client had no plans to report to police despite Pentecostal church officials advising him to reveal details of any cash that may have been raised deceptively.Mr Guglielmucci remained in hiding yesterday but has already made an exclusive arrangement with Channel 7's Today Tonight.Mr Guglielmucci has been described as a Christian superstar, inspiring hundreds of thousands around the world as he performed his hit song Healer with an oxygen tube in his nose.One of those was former Edge Church International member Alex Saint, 24, who bought the music and was touched by his idol's supposed strength.The video editor, who lives near Murray Bridge, felt a connection because his mother had recently died of breast cancer.As a result, he donated a small amount to the now-defunct Facebook page "Praying Together for Mike Guglielmucci"."I believed every word he said. I believed he was going through hell," Mr Saint said."My heart goes out to all the people who have been hurt...to make all this up is extremely crushing for anyone who has gone through cancer.There's no better script than to be dying of cancer and giving glory to God in a Christian context...it's the highest form of fraud."Another believer, Caroline, 46, donated $800 after seeing Mr Guglielmucci perform at the Edge Church at Reynella about five months ago.The grandmother, who is receiving a disability pension, was saving the money to take her four-year-old grandson - who is wheelchair-bound with cerebral palsy - to Sydney for a holiday."I feel like a real idiot," she said. "I saw Michael talk and sing and he's so very charismatic."I decided to donate the money because I thought it could benefit more people, but what a con."But supporters have rallied around Mr Guglielmucci, including former Family First MLC and Paradise Church pastor Andrew Evans, who believes people will turn the other cheek."My gut feeling is that people will forgive him," he said.Mr Evans' son Russell founded PlanetShakers and has preached alongside Mr Guglielmucci.
PS:Now....What about his wife for example????Didn't she know that he was lying???When you are diagnosed with cancer,your espouse is generally right there and involved in the whole thing:labs,tests of all kinds,surgeries,radiation chemo...you name it....I personally know the process....
What kind of cancer he said he had?Did he lose weight?I mean...Im trying to understand how come this con artist and sick in the head individual goes around even to the point of using an oxigen tank and NOBODY...absolutely NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING,of those close to him????
What about hsopital visits,dr.visits.hospitalizations?What about losing his hair to chemo,what about weakness.....
What did he do with all the money he's got?what about his wife,his fellow pastors and ministers?????This is SO UPSETTING!!!!!!!!!!!
This is UNBELIEVABLE.....!!!!!!!!!!!We are truly living in evil days.......
As in the days of Noah...
