The Weekly's journey to obtain legal documents in a priest sex abuse case led deep into the Monterey Diocese.
On Feb. 13,
2011, officials from the Diocese of Monterey stood before parishioners
at the end of Sunday morning mass at Madonna del Sasso Church in Salinas
and delivered a startling revelation. Their former pastor, a

post at the Old Mission San Juan Bautista as police investigated
allegations that Fitz-Henry had molested a teenage boy at Madonna del
Sasso.
