Gommar A. DePauw (11 October 1918 – 6 May 2005) was a Belgian-American traditionalist Catholic priest and founder of an organization that he called the Catholic Traditionalist Movement. [1]
Education and career
From 1952 to 1963 DePauw taught canon law at
Mount Saint Mary's Seminary
in
Emmitsburg, Maryland
. In 1955 he requested and was granted
incardination
from the Diocese of Ghent to the
Archdiocese of Baltimore
and was named academic dean of the seminary.
[2]
In January 1966 after the attempted transfer from Baltimore to Tivoli became public, Cardinal Shehan said that the transfer was never legally completed and that DePauw was still a priest incardinated in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. In order to excardinate and incardinate, a priest must request excardination of his bishop, and it must be granted. As Cardinal Shehan was following the universal law of the Church, the Bishop of Tivoli supported Cardinal Shehan. Shehan suspended DePauw from his priestly functions. [2]
On 23 June 1968 DePauw established the Ave Maria Chapel in Westbury, Long Island . [2]
