Parish to Close After Pastor Removed

Public sacraments will cease at historic Baltimore church.

Podcast Available for Premium Subscribers

The Baltimore archdiocese announced Saturday that Masses and sacraments at St. Benedict Church will be discontinued on Nov. 15. This comes after Benedictine Fr. Paschal Morlino — who was the church's pastor for years — settled with a man who accused him of abuse. In this episode of The Download, hosts Bradley Eli, Alex Karzon and Christine Niles discuss church closures and abuse scandals — as well as how Catholics can respond to these difficulties. They also talk about the Eucharist and church architecture.
