NJ Priest Kicks 7-Year-Old Boy With Autism Out of Church for Being ‘Distraction’

August 12, 2020 by Staff

(Fox News) A New Jersey mom is upset after her son, who has autism and is nonverbal, was kicked out of a Catholic church by a priest for being a “distraction” during a private baptism ceremony.

Julia Vicidomini told Fox News she is still waiting for a personal apology after the priest at Christ the King Church in Hillside doubled down on why he decided to boot their son, Nicky, out of her baby daughter Sophia’s baptism.

“Yes, he was playing with a toy where he should not have been, however, the way the priest kicked him out of the church was completely rude and disrespectful,” she wrote on Facebook Sunday with a video of the incident.
