Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Archdiocese of Springfield in Illinois has started talking about a priest under his employ who was granted a leave of absence for an odd 911 call in late 2012. Earlier this month we brought you the story of Father Tom Donovan, who had to have police help him out of a mouth gag and handcuffs. Today, Bishop Paprocki, who is currently at war with marriage equality efforts in Illinois, released a statement about the incident.
