CLEVELAND — A priest who’s refusing to stop ministering to a breakaway congregation says he’s been suspended for disobeying the order from the Roman Catholic bishop in Cleveland.
Bishop Richard Lennon previously threatened to punish the Rev. Robert Marrone for celebrating Mass for former parishioners of St. Peter Church. They moved to a commercial building after their church was closed in 2010 amid downsizing by the diocese.
The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/JvfQIa ) reports Marrone met with Lennon last week.
