Bishop hits back in priest row
The Bishop of Dunkeld today said he is “convinced” a senior Dundee priest had engaged in a relationship with a married woman.Bishop Vincent Logan was responding to a public attack from his former right hand man, Monsignor Joe Creegan. The retired priest has accused him of a “gross breach of natural justice” by suspending him without carrying out a full and proper inquiry.
The move came after the Diocese of Dunkeld issued a statement on January 27 saying the bishop had acted after being presented with “specific and irrefutable evidence” of Mgr Creegan’s misconduct.
The bishop’s statement said the priest had accepted the ruling.
Mgr Creegan, who was parish priest at St Peter and St Paul’s, issued a statement yesterday saying the bishop had given weight to a “mixture of lies and half-truths”.
