This same situation is not unusual today.  My former parish in central coastal California received a young pastor who was found to have a local female partner and two children.  He also enjoyed frequent "vacations" to his previous home in Mexico to visit his other family (partner and two children he fathered).  The bishop finally stepped in and sent him home to Mexico, but the local family has lost his presence and financial support.  He was not the first in that diocese to enjoy both priestly functions and familial support.
