(Cleveland) – Father Robert Marrone has been suspended by the the Cleveland Catholic Diocese for disobeying orders by Bishop Richard Lennon to remove himself from a break-away congregation of St. Peter’s Church.

St. Peter’s in downtown Cleveland was one of more than 50 churches closed by Lennon in the past three years.

Many members of St. Peter’s set up their own worship space in a commercial building nearly two years ago and have been celebrating Mass with Father Marrone.
