SAN ANTONIO — The Archdiocese of San Antonio said a priest has been accused of financial and sexual misconduct.
Reverend Duncan Amek was with St. Matthew Catholic Church. The archbishop wrote a letter saying Amek is "now unable to function as a priest."
The letter doesn't give many details, except that the alleged misconduct was with adult women.
It also accuses Amek of getting married against his vow of celibacy.
The archbishop said anyone who's experienced sexual abuse or harassment by a church leader should report it. It's unclear if the priest has been charged with a crime.
