KENOSHA – A stunning change at a Catholic Church: a priest let go potentially because of his social media accounts.
St. Peter Catholic Church has a fill-in priest now, and officials tell parishioners they plan to find a full time replacement soon.
Church members confirmed they heard the abrupt announcement during mass about the fate of their priest, Father Ireneusz Chodakowski. Some parishioners told a Kenosha newspaper it’s because he shared porn on his Facebook account.
Church officials refused to answer our questions, but some church members weren’t so shy.
“With all that’s been in the news with what’s been happening in the churches – to have that here, that’s tough,” comments Tom Odegaard, who grew up at the church.
