Guest lurkerspeaks Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Springfield, IL — A Catholic priest from the Springfield diocese headed by Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, who testified against Illinois' marriage equality bill, is on administrative leave after calling 911 to report that he was unable to remove a pair of handcuffs he'd been "playing with." Father Tom Donovan as seen in his Linked-In profile "I'm going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency," Father Tom Donovan told a dispatcher during the Nov. 28 call."You're stuck in a pair of handcuffs?" the dispatcher asks."(I was) playing with them and I need help getting out," Donovan responds.His voice on the 911 tape released Friday by police sounds garbled or muffled. When police arrived at the St. Aloysius church, they discovered Donovan in the church's rectory where he was also wearing a gag. Donovan told the dispatcher that he was alone in the rectory when he was gagged and cuffed. There has been no explanation as to how Donovan handcuffed and gagged himself.St. Aloysius church is under the Diocese of Springfield headed by Bishop Paprocki since June 2010. Paprocki lead a group of three that testified against Illinois' gay marriage bill on Thursday."The pending bill would radically redefine what marriage is for everybody," Bishop Paprocki said before a Senate Executive Committee. "Laws have long-term consequences because laws teach—they tell us what is socially acceptable, and what is not."Bishop Paprocki and the diocese have remained tight-lipped about the matter. Kathie Sass, spokeswoman for the Springfield diocese, would not disclose Donovan's whereabouts to the Illinois Times or say whether he is staying at a church-affiliated location."There's a matter of privacy there," she said.Bishop Paprocki made national headlines in September 2012 when he told parishioners that voting for Democrats, "makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy."

Members RA1 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Posted January 10, 2013 I have been to the first two but on "ordinary" business, not "funny" business. If Helen should have worn a bra what should have Joan worn? So far I know of no fire-proof and "lightening-proof" garb, but then I do not necessarily keep up with the latest fashions. Best regards, RA1 Quote

You would think Helen would have at least had the sense to wear a bra, out there in the blazing sun. Reminds me of Eleanor in A Lion in Winter (the film wih Hepburn): "I even made poor Louis take me on Crusade. How's that for blasphemy. I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn... but the troops were dazzled." Quote

Guest rimchair Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 For the best sex in the rectory, I introduce Msgr. Meth.: The Catholic priest busted for allegedly dealing crystal meth was suspended after church officials discovered he was a cross-dresser who was having sex in the rectory at Bridgeport's St. Augustine Cathedral. Monsignor Kevin Wallin was relieved of his duties in May, but the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport had continued to pay him a stipend until his Jan. 3 arrest -- a day he was planning to fly to London on vacation. Now dubbed "Msgr. Meth" by some, Wallin seemed to live a life that easily could have been ripped from the script of "Breaking Bad," the popular AMC series about a high school chemistry teacher turned crystal methamphetamine producer. At one point, Wallin was selling upwards of $9,000 of meth a week, according to his indictment. In his post-priesthood, Wallin, 61, bought an adult specialty and video store in North Haven called Land of Oz that sells sex toys and X-rated DVDs. Investigators believe the shop helped him launder thousands of dollars in weekly profits.

Guest hitoallusa Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 What! He used our Oz's name without permission. There are many nuns and monks who do good work so I hope this incident doesn't tarnish the Catholic Church. The same thing could have in the escort industry but it can't be used against the whole industry, I suppose. Quote
AdamSmith Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I think I know that North Haven store! What a hoot. He could have really helped the Vatican Bank if everyone had just kept their mouths shut. Quote
