Raid On Dallas Diocese Inspires Catholics To Close Ranks Or Lose Faith

From Dallas News:

Dallas police officials cart out boxes from a raid on the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, Wednesday, May 15, 2019. Dallas police officers on Wednesday morning raided several Dallas Catholic Diocese offices after a detective said church officials have not cooperated with investigations into sexual abuse by its past clergy members. Since a police investigation began last fall, at least five new allegations of sexual abuse have surfaced within the Catholic Diocese, according to Major Max Geron, who oversees the special investigations division. (Tom Fox/Staff Photographer)Catholics across the area wrestled with sadness, disappointment and outright anger after last week’s raid on the Dallas diocese, which police say hasn’t fully cooperated with a sexual abuse investigation.

The news was devastating to Becky Autrey, a 30-year member of North Dallas’ St. Rita Catholic Community who was already struggling with her feelings about the church.  “I think this has lost me for good,” she said. “I really don’t have that deep faith anymore.”
