Priest spends nights with divorcee
A top Catholic priest is spending nights in a home he bought with a divorcee. Monsignor Joseph Creegan and Anne Ogden grew close after he was asked to help save her marriage.Friends say her university professor husband Graham blames the priest for the breakdown of their relationship.
The 66-year-old priest and community nurse Anne, 48, took out a joint mortgage on a £335,000 luxury home while she was still married.
Anne and her husband met Monsignor Creegan at his St Peter & St Paul's parish church in Dundee as they tried to save their 23-year marriage.
A spokesman for the church said Monsignor Creegan had spoken to his Bishop, Vincent Logan, yesterday.
The spokesman said: "Bishop Logan has received no complaints either formally or informally about Monsignor Creegan's alleged relationship with Anne Ogden.
"The Monsignor told him the house in Fife was owned solely by Mrs Ogden. As far as future conduct is concerned, Bishop Logan will keep a watching brief on this situation."
