Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25 (UPI) -- The Rev. Marek Bozek celebrated midnight mass in at St. Stanislaus Kostka church despite St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke prohibiting the service.
At least 2,000 people packed the church early Sunday and applauded as Bozek carrying a statute of the baby Jesus entered as the choir sang "Silent Night," reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Bozek asked the parishioners to leave their tensions and problems behind and concentrate on the true meaning of Christmas.
Earlier in December when Bozek told Bishop John J. Leibrecht of the diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau in Missouri of his decision to become the pastor at St. Stanislaus, the bishop suspended him.
Later, Burke declared the six lay St. Stanislaus board members excommunicated along with Bozek for "the ecclesiastical crime of schism," which the Catechism of the Catholic Church says is "the refusal of submission to the Roman pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."
