AL Priest Marries Teen After Fleeing To Italy With Her

November 22, 2023 News, Religion

The Birmingham News reports:

The Mobile priest and the 2023 high school graduate with whom he left the country for Europe this summer are now married, according to records filed with Mobile County Probate Court.

Alex Crow, 30, and 18-year-old Taylor Victoria Harrison were married last Friday, according to the date on the marriage certificate. Crow and Harrison, a graduate of McGill-Toolen High School, where Crow had worked as a guest lecturer, left Mobile and traveled to Europe over the summer.

They remained there for roughly four months while both the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and Mobile County District Attorney’s Office conducted what would ultimately be fruitless investigations into possible wrongdoing by the former priest in the Archdiocese of Mobile.

The Associated Press reports:

Crow was not an employee at the school but sometimes visited theology classes there, news outlets reported. The marriage certificate indicates the woman turned 18 in June.

Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi announced in July that he had suspended Crow and forbidden him from acting, dressing, or presenting himself as a priest. Rodi later said he saw no way for Crow to return to the priesthood.

“The recent news of Crow’s civil marriage only confirms the Archbishop’s judgment. Archbishop Rodi anticipates that the Vatican will eventually laicize Alex Crow,” read a statement issued by the Archdiocese of Mobile

A legal adult human. How refreshing. Of course, we don’t know what shenanigans may have occurred while the now-Mrs. Priest was still in high school.
