Alabama Catholic Priest Accused of Marrying Teen Faces Dismissal

A suspended Alabama priest, Alex Crow, has been accused of marrying an 18-year-old woman and fleeing to Italy with her. The Catholic church may officially dismiss him from the priesthood, as confirmed by state records and Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi. Crow had been suspended and forbidden from acting as a priest since July, and the recent marriage certificate further supports the Archbishop's judgment. The district attorney in Mobile County has closed an investigation into criminal wrongdoing in their relationship, as the young woman declined to answer questions.
