The pastor of Dallas' Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe suddenly left his high-profile post this week, stunning staff members and leaving fellow clergymen in the dark.
Catholic Bishop Charles Grahmann has tightly guarded news about the Rev. Ramon Alvarez's departure, which the priest disclosed to some church staff Monday.
By late this week, many other local clerics didn't know it happened, or why.
Bronson Havard, the bishop's spokesman, declined to answer when a reporter asked whether the priest was in trouble.
