Fort Worth Catholic Diocese Releases Clergy Records

That a Catholic diocese could be involved in such corrupt behavior, especially in regards to sexual abuse, surprised absolutely no one.

A court order has forced the Fort Worth Catholic diocese to release documents that are connected to six priests that have been accused of sexual abuse. The documents indicate that the late Bishop of the Fort Worth diocese, Joseph Delaney, knew about many of the incidents and accusations of sexual abuse but failed to report them to local police, and in some cases helped the accused priests to avoid legal repercussions. That a Catholic diocese could be involved in such corrupt behavior, especially in regards to sexual abuse, surprised absolutely no one.

Both the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the DMN were behind the lawsuit that led to the release of these telling documents.
