A Corpus Christi priest has been acquitted on charges of assaulting an altar boy.

We suspect there's more to this case than has been revealed. We also suspect that some have seen, suspected or suffered wrongdoing by Rev. Patrick Serna. If so, we hope that they find the courage and strength to speak up, get help, expose misdeeds and protect others.

We have little faith in so-called “church investigations” into alleged clergy crimes and misconduct. And it should be remembered that in criminal matters, the bar is high for a conviction. Accused priests often get expensive, top-notch defense lawyers.

We are grateful that this family sought justice in court. We hope more of the truth about this situation surfaces soon.
