Priest gets stuck in gag and handcuffs

I would not normally post something this embarrassing--to a Priest no less--but if you read the article I can only say it couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk.

Priest to 911: Please Help With These Handcuffs and Gag I Was Playing With

By Paul UlaneJan 09, 2013

A priest in Springfield, IL has gotten himself tied up in quite a mess. Father Tom Donovan of the St. Aloysius church on Springfield's north end called 911 from the rectory when he found himself unable to undo a pair of handcuffs and a gag. "I'm going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency," Donovan told a dispatcher during the Nov. 28 call.

When the dispatcher asks for more information, Donovan offered up this explanation: "(I was) playing with them and I need help getting out." Since the call, there has been no explanation for how Donovan was able to gag and cuff himself.

Donovan's voice sounds garbled on tape of the call and when police arrived, they found Donovan in some sort of gag. Donovan has since taken a leave from the church, something he was granted from Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, who is the leader of the Springfield diocese.

Paprocki made headlines last Thursday when he testified against Illinois' gay marriage bill. He also once stated that voting for Democrats, "makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy." No word yet on how handcuffing and gagging yourself alone in a church for God knows what reason impacts your morals, soul and eternal salvation.

Well, accidents happen. That's why selfbondage is considered risky.
And the last paragraphs you wrote shows the deep level of shizophrenia- difference between the outward and inward perception- that *some* religious people have (of course, others can have it too).

I see no reason why that guy's name and rank had to be released to the general public. I betcha it would not have been if it had been a local fireman or cop.

This story was a tad salacious which is why it became an international story. I wonder if authorities would have released the story had it occured at a rectory in New York City, Los Angeles or London instead of Springfield, Illinois. Would it have been any different if instead of a Catholic Priest, it involved a Nun?

Just goes to show when it comes to self-bondage, if you're not careful you could become your own worst enemy.

The only reason I posted it was because of this part of the article:

"Paprocki made headlines last Thursday when he testified against Illinois' gay marriage bill. He also once stated that voting for Democrats, "makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy."

Jerk!
