Interesting story developing about a team of multiple police agencies descending on the offices of the Archdiocese of Houston-Galveston moments ago. Police are carrying in boxes, and a police "crime scene" truck is on hand. Police spokesman said they are looking for "secret archives" in connection with the criminal case of Manuel LaRosa-Lopez, accused of 4 counts of indecency with a child. The search and seizure operation could continue tomorrow as well.

Spokesman indicated that Montgomery County police had received tips from the Pennsylvania AG on what to search for in the chancery. (That video has since been taken down, however. Was just there a minute ago, I swear!)

The current Archbishop of Houston is Cardinal Daniel DiNardo who also serves as the head of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. He has said the Archdiocese is cooperating with the investigation:

Interesting that the Pennsylvania AG is telling Texas police what evidence to search for. Will try to find that video to substantiate what I just heard. It was at this site but has just been taken down as I was writing this: https://www.khou.com/article/news/watch-live-dato-hold-11-am-press-conference-outside-archdiocese-of-galveston-houston/285-618021117

The live press conference with Montgomery County DA Brett Ligon is no longer available; some excerpts available on Twitter:

1) "Concerning today's action at the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon says he'll go where the search takes him, "If it's at the Vatican, I'll be heading to Rome. It could be like the A&M game...seven overtimes."

2) Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon, "The patron saint of children is St. Nicholas...St. Nicholas is also known as Santa Claus. Well, Santa Claus is here to tell you, that the state of Texas will go to any length to protect children." https://twitter.com/KHOU/status/1067835134848552961

3) Breaking: About today's search at the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon says he's taken the burden off the church, "I'm gonna find it all out. I'm a Catholic myself."
