FORT WORTH, Texas — The Fort Worth Roman Catholic Diocese has reached another settlement involving sexual abuse claims against a former priest who died in 1999.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports (http://bit.ly/1n5xtHe ) that terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The leader of the diocese, Bishop Michael Olson, said in a written statement Friday that he was deeply sorry for any sexual abuse and that such actions are “a sin and a crime.”
James Reilly was pastor of St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Arlington from 1969 to 1987, when he retired.
