Two more Amarillo priest
resign, total increases to fm
DALLAS (AP) — The
Diocese of Amarillo has had five
parish priests resign as a result
of the sex abuse charter adopted
by the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops during a June
meeting in Dallas.
The number grew to five after
two more parish priests quietly
resigned about two weeks ago,
diocese officials said Monday.
The priests are 58-year-old
Rev. Jim Hutzler pastor at St.
Theresa’s Catholic Church in
Panhandle, and 73-year-old Rev.
Ed Graff, most recently pastor
of churches in Silverton, Turkey
and Quitaque.
Diocesan officials said they
are not sure why the men did
not resign as quickly as the
other priests.
“They resigned a month after
the charter; I don’t know exactly
when they read it,” diocesan
spokeswoman Cathy Lexa said
in Tuesday’s editions of The
Dallas Morning News. “It’s my
understanding that a copy of the
charter was sent out to every
priest in the diocese by Bishop
John Yanta after he returned
from Dallas. ...
“It’s only my speculation
that they contemplated on the
words as they read the charter
and dealt within their own heart
what was in their pasts. And I’m
sure they took it to prayer,
because I believe all these men
are good men.”
The sexual-abuse scandal in
the U.S. Catholic Church has
taken an especially heavy toll in
the Texas Panhandle, where the
resignations have worsened a
shortage of parish priests.
Almost a third of the 35
parishes in the sprawling 26-
county diocese are without full-

Women testify against judge
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A 56-year-old South
Texas judge could lose his bench if a state judicial
panel finds him guilty of sexual harassment.
Three woman testified Monday before the
panel that 79th District Court Judge Terry Canales
sexually harassed them. Canales is expected to
present his case before the commission Tuesday
afternoon.
Rosario “Rosie” Hernandez, then an 18-year-
old clerk in the Brooks County Courthouse, said
Canales called her at home one night in February
2000. Trying to end the conversation, she told the
judge she had to take a shower.
The judge responded by making a sexually
suggestive comment regarding the shower,
Hernandez told the State Commission on Judicial
Conduct, which monitors the state’s judiciary.
Hernandez told the panel of six judges that
some time later she went to Canales’ chambers
and he asked for a hug. After accepting his
embrace, he groped her and pressed himself
against her, she said.
Canales, who watched the testimony ii
sively, is a four-term judge based in Alice.
Frances Delgado, the daughter of Canales
mer bailiff, and Liana Barrera, a former cleii
Canales’ court, also accused him Monday of
ing sexual advances.
Barrera told Canales’ attorneys that she
worked for him for three and a half years and
once called him a “model boss.” She salt
resigned because she could not get along -
Canales’ office manager.
After she told the judge she was resign!
Barrera testified, Canales invited her
chambers and asked her to reconsider. If:
she said, he suddenly “grabbed me and staitg
kissing me.”
Augustin Rivera of Corpus Christi, one
Canales’ attorneys, told the San Antonio Exp
News for Tuesday’s editions: “We’re lookinr
ward to presenting the true facts of theca:
commission.”
