The Texas Supreme Court will hear a defamation lawsuit out of Lubbock. It’s Jesus Guerrero’s case against the Catholic Diocese.

In January 2019 the church sent media outlets a list of clergy credibly accused of sexually assaulting children.

Guerrero’s name was on it, the church claims, because he was credibly accused of assaulting a woman with a mental disability. Under Cannon Law, she is considered a minor.
