Yeah, not the sort of thing that the local bishop is going to approve of:
A former administrative assistant at the St. Francis of Assisi University Parish in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is now facing a possible 20 years in prison after she plead guilty to stealing some $300,000 from her church and spending most of the money on gifts for TikTok content creators, leaving church officials baffled.

Ms. Battocletti reportedly used that $300,000 to purchase "more than $220,000 [in] TikTok coins to send gifts to TikTok content creators."
The lady's crime was reportedly discovered after parish officials noticed the funny finance numbers and brought in a diocesan auditor.

A diocesan spokesman, meanwhile, put it best:
To be honest, I don't really understand how she spent all that money on TikTok
