Key takeaway The Diocese of Austin has provided some information on this matter.
A question has been raised about Anthony Odiong's status as a priest following his sentencing in a sexual assault trial. The Diocese of Austin has provided some information on this matter. As of now, Odiong is still considered a priest, but he is not allowed to function as one due to restrictions by Church authorities.
The Diocese of Austin notes that the process of removing a priest from their position is different from a secular job and involves canonical proceedings, which may be delayed until other litigation is resolved, for more details the public can refer to the Diocese's statement.
