A University of Notre Dame professor dubbed the father of US Latino religious thought has been accused of sexually abusing a boy more than 30 years ago.
A lawsuit has been filed against Fr Virgilio Elizondo, a theology professor at Notre Dame, as well as against a former priest and San Antonio archdiocese.
The lawsuit alleges a boy was abused again after he reported previous abuse to Fr Elizondo.
Unspecified damages are sought in the lawsuit.
A Notre Dame spokesman said the university was “reserving comment until further inquiries are completed”.
Fr Elizondo is currently a professor of pastoral and Hispanic theology at Notre Dame.
He has pursued scholarly work in theology, evangelisation, faith and spirituality, culture and public ritual.
