KNOXVILLE — A Honduran woman has officially dropped her lawsuit against the Diocese of Knoxville over her claim that a local priest sexually assaulted her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church
The priest at the center of the allegations, however, declined to go along with mediation and has declined to settle with the Honduran woman.
Several U.S. dioceses reported 30%, 40%, 50%, and even more than 70% more adult converts who entered the Catholic Church this Easter.
A Honduran asylum seeker filed a lawsuit about a year ago accusing the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville of trying to discredit and intimidate her and obstruct a law enforcement investigation after she reported she was sexually assaulted by a priest.
Latecomers were out of luck. Amid a full lot, at least one truck parked on the grass, and other parishioners deposited their cars in whatever dubious nooks they could find.
