	Priest Accused of Abuse Is HIV Positive, Diocese Says By Darren Barbee Star-Telegram February 14, 2008 http://www.star-telegram.com/news/story/474796.html The Rev. Philip Magaldi, who has been accused by several men of sexual misconduct while he served as a parish priest, is HIV positive, the Fort Worth Roman Catholic Diocese announced today. Magaldi, who served at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in North Richland Hills, told the diocese on Feb. 6 of his infection. Since then, the diocese says it has contacted three people who have made accusations against Magaldi. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I., where Magaldi has served, has also been contacted about Magaldi's status. Fort Worth diocese officials said they don't have access to his medical records but believe he had the virus that causes AIDS as early as 2003, said the Rev. Michael Olson, vicar general. Bishop Kevin Vann is expected to fly to Rome this month to continue the process of defrocking Magaldi, who is 71.
