SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (KMOX) – Springfield Bishop Thomas Paprocki returned one of his priest’s to the ministry, following a lengthy period of treatment and counseling.
In November 2012, Springfield priest, Father Thomas Donova, called 9-1-1 with a bit of problem. He had gotten stuck in a pair of handcuffs.
Bishop Paprocki granted Father Donovan a leave of absence, saying he “suffered from non-sexual self bondage,” and after months of treatment, a special church panel has recommended his gradual return to the ministry.
