Alabama Priest Alex Crow Suspended: Mobile, Alabama State records reveal that Alex Crow, a suspended Alabama priest, recently married the 18-year-old woman he fled to Italy with this summer. Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi expects the Vatican to pursue Crows official dismissal from the priesthood.
The marriage certificate, filed on Monday in Mobile County, confirms the union between the 30-year-old Catholic priest and the 18-year-old woman, a recent graduate of McGill-Toolen High School. Crow, not an employee at the school but an occasional visitor to theology classes, left the country with the teenager in late July. The marriage certificate indicates that the woman turned 18 in June.
Archbishop Rodi suspended Crow in July, forbidding him from acting, dressing, or presenting himself as a priest. Subsequently, Rodi expressed his belief that Crow had no path to return to the priesthood.
The recent news of Crows civil marriage only confirms the Archbishops judgment. Archbishop Rodi anticipates that the Vatican will eventually laicize Alex Crow, stated a release from the Archdiocese of Mobile.
Earlier this month, the Mobile County District Attorney closed an investigation into criminal wrongdoing in the relationship between Crow and the young woman. District Attorney Keith Blackwood reported that the woman declined to answer questions during a meeting with an attorney.
