There are more questions than answers for parishioners at Dallas' Cathedral of Guadalupe after the popular Father Ramon Alvarez suddenly left his post.

Cathedral employees explained that Father Alvarez had gone on vacation, but a spokesperson for the Dallas diocese said Father Alvarez won't be coming back.

Father Alvarez drove away as News 8 attempted to ask him why he is no longer leading one of the largest Latino congregrations in the United States.

Father Alvarez is scheduled to testify in two controversial trials involving child pornography and sex abuse.
