Priest who made controversial remarks on pedophilia seriously hurt in car crash
A West Warwick priest who's been in the news recently for comments on abortion and pedophilia was seriously injured in Lynn, Massachusetts, Tuesday afternoon when his vehicle veered off the road and hit a tree and a pole.
The Diocese of Providence confirmed Wednesday morning that the Rev. Richard Bucci was the person injured in the crash, and requested prayers for Bucci, his family, friends and the parish.
Bucci, pastor of Sacred Heart Church in West Warwick, was freed from the wreckage and taken by helicopter to Salem Hospital, then to another hospital, according to the Massachusetts State Police.
In February, Bucci made news when he barred Rhode Island lawmakers who had voted to codify abortion rights in the state from receiving communion. He also said they could not serve as a marriage witness, godparent, or a lector at weddings, funerals or other church functions.
