An Update on Marek Bozek and St Stanislaus

From an updated post from yesterday...

KTVI Fox2 News was called about the previous reported news story and the station indicated that the story was not and probably would not be posted on its website. No reason was given.

A call was made to the St Stanislaus parish secretary. She said she was unclear what to make of the news story on Fox2 News on Tuesday evening. She did state that some sort of decision on Marek Bozek's status should be forthcoming by this Friday.

The following is a short summary received from an unnamed source which sheds some light on the Fox2 News report.
The St Stanislaus board met this past Sunday.

The meeting was supposed to be closed to the parishioners because it concerned some of Marek Bozek’s recent activities. These are certainly questionable from a Catholic's perspective - attending a "women's ordination ceremony", etc...

Marek Bozek, however, brought his own group of supporters to the meeting and it has been reported that the exchanges were, at times, heated.

Bozek apparently demanded a vote as to whether he should be retained or terminated.

Surprisingly to him, 3 directors voted in favor of firing him while 3 voted to retain him.

It has also been reported that a few of Bozek’s supporters demanded a vote of the entire parish - although this would have no legally binding force on the board members.

It would appear that the end is near for Marek Bozek, who still is subject to laicization in the coming weeks. Perhaps cooler, rational heads will prevail at St Stanislaus and healing and reconciliation will be sooner rather than later?
