The road back to trust is deservedly long for the Catholic Diocese of Dallas.
The sexual abuse scandal that saw the church harbor abusive priests and shuffle them from parish to parish is impossible to comprehend, so dark and terrible were its intentions and consequences.
We are glad the church has taken and continues to take steps that, we hope, demonstrate a promise that never again will protecting the institution come before protecting the innocent and the vulnerable.
The diocese’s decision to hire a respected law enforcement officer, Dallas Police Deputy Chief Albert Martinez, to supervise the victim’s assistance coordinator and oversee parish security strikes us as an important step.
