And what’s this about it being written by a bishop?! Is this bishop even in communion with the Catholic Church, or is he a heretic?
Priest claim set to shock Catholic Church
22 May 2005
CONTROVERSIAL Bishop Pat Buckley last night revealed how priests and nuns in the Catholic Church across Ireland were having passionate affairs.
The sensational claims are made by the Co Donegal-based priest in his explosive new autobiography - A Sexual Life, A Spiritual Life.
The book - to be published next week - reveals how gay priests are living together, and how some priests paid for abortions after getting their lovers pregnant.
He also reveals how priests’ housekeepers are kept as ‘wives’, and how the clergy has enjoyed secret affairs over the years.
Other revelations will include details of women who have had priests’ children over the years, and how the situation has been ignored by the church hierarchy.
Do you think that this will cause a lot of scandal in the Catholic Church in America, or do you think that it will mostly be a European issue; or do you think that it won’t cause many ripples?The claims will cause shockwaves through the Catholic Church.
Buckley split from the church in 1986 after a series of rows with his superiors.
