	SNAP Demands Suspension of Priest with Child Associated Press, carried in Chicago Tribune October 16, 2009 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-mo-father-priest,0,6884893.story ST. LOUIS - A Wisconsin diocese has suspended a Catholic priest who fathered a child during a five-year relationship in Illinois. The Diocese of Superior in Wisconsin said late Friday that the Rev. Henry Willenborg had been temporarily suspended with pay. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests called for the move earlier Friday in St. Louis. SNAP also wants church officials in Missouri and Wisconsin to help the mother and son. He is now 22 and has cancer. The demands were in response to Friday's New York Times story about the Ashland, Wis., pastor, and his former lover and their son. Pat Bond, now of O'Fallon, received about $100,000 in financial support from the Franciscans, Willenborg's religious order. She is seeking more, and said in a statement the church has made her and her son beggars. The Franciscans said they went beyond what the law required.
