The archbishop of New Orleans is facing accusations of attempting to seize millions of dollars from a church-affiliated food bank to help settle the archdiocese's bankruptcy claims. Two fired board members allege they were removed for resisting pressure to redirect donor funds. The archbishop denies these claims, stating that the board refused to sign a liability agreement during bankruptcy negotiations.

Aymond said members of the Second Harvest board had repeatedly asked him to withdraw from his position overseeing the nonprofit. The archbishop has the sole power to remove Second Harvest executives and board members, according to the nonprofit’s articles of incorporation, viewed by The Associated Press.
In response to Aymond’s video, fired board member Nick Karl contended the deadline to sign, set by a court, was actually May 1 and that the Second Harvest executive team had been in the process of reviewing it. Aymond appointed Dirk Wild, the archdiocese’s chief financial officer, as interim CEO and named three new board members. Second Harvest’s priority is to “ensure day-to-day operations will remain on schedule and services will continue uninterrupted,” Aymond and Wild said in a joint statement released last week.
