Priest Rowe clash with Belleville bishop at Mount Carmel church
The Southern Illinois Association of Priests defends Rev. William Rowe as he faces removal by Bishop Edward Braxton from St. Mary's Catholic Church. Rowe, in charge for 17 years, was ousted over wording in the Mass and two civil marriages lacking annulments. He may appeal to the Vatican but Rome is not expected to intervene. Colleague Edward Barbier notes many priests add Mass embellishments, yet Rowe defends his effort to relateCatholic faith to parish life.
