A Polish priest asked to leave
the Church because he has a girlfriend and they have a son
together, Salesian sources said Friday.
Father Tomasz Kijowski, a Salesian priest who served as
spokesman for the 2016 World Youth Day to be held in Krakow, has
asked to leave, said Father Andrzej Golebiewski of the Salesian
Inspectorate of Krakow on Friday.
During World Youth Day planning meetings, Kijowski met a
22-year-old woman who became his girlfriend and with whom he now
has a son.
Polish websites are highlighting the story in the wake of
Polish Monsignor Krysztof Charamsa's coming out as gay on
Saturday, on the eve of the Catholic Church's 20-day Synod on
the Family in Vatican City.
