	2 New Sex Abuse Allegations Made against Deceased Priest By Darren Barbee Fort Worth Star-Telegram September 15, 2008 http://www.star-telegram.com/religion/story/910517.html Two new allegations of sexual abuse of boys have been made against a deceased Decatur priest, Fort Worth Roman Catholic Diocese officials said Monday. The two new "credible accusations" occurred on separate occasions while the Rev. Francis A. Zimmerer was administrator of the parish of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church. Zimmerer, who served there from January 1975 until May 1981, has now been accused by three men who were boys at the time of the alleged abuse. The diocese was initially notified on Aug. 25 about accusations against the priest by a 45-year-old man's spouse. That man was 11 when Zimmerer abused him, he said.
