	Catholic Order Pays Priest's Child Support Chicago Tribune January 14, 2006 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/northwest/chi-0601140224jan14,1,112684.story?coll=chi-newslocalnorthwest-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true CHICAGO -- A Roman Catholic religious order has paid retroactive child support on behalf of a priest who fathered a son in Canada then transferred to Chicago where he works in Hyde Park. Rev. Phillip Thomas, provincial superior for the Discalced Carmelite Friars in the U.S., said the order sent a check for more than $2,000 on behalf of Rev. Jason Martin after a paternity test showed him to be the father of a 10-month-old son. Thomas said the order will pay $213 a month until the boy turns 18.
