A Catholic priest has been removed from his post at a Kenosha parish while authorities investigate his postings of videos on Facebook, the Kenosha News has reported.

The Rev. Ireneusz Chodakowski’s removal was announced to parishioners at St. Peter’s Catholic Church over the weekend.

Kenosha Police and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee did not immediately return telephone calls on Wednesday.

The Kenosha News quotes an anonymous parishioner as saying Chodakowski was being investigated for allegedly sharing pornography. It said a spokeswoman for the archdiocese characterized his alleged offense as “a lack of good judgment” in his use of social media.
