Church Split over Convicted Priest Wisconsin State Journal April 20, 1993 No traditional Latin Tridentine Mass has been held at St. Pius V Catholic Church here for the last two weeks after the congregation's priest was convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy. The church, a conservative breakaway sect not recognized by the Milwaukee Roman Catholic Archdiocese, is a private corporation. The Milwaukee Journal quoted a source Monday as saying that the parish's board of directors voted to retain Phillip Keyes as their priest, while congregation members attending a meeting Sunday voted by an almost 2-to-1 margin not to retain him. Keyes, 66, entered a no contest plea in Rock County Circuit Court to one felony count of first-degree sexual assault of a child and had five other counts against him dropped. |
