Shamed priest ruined by Angelika Kluk scandal gives secret Masses

The shamed priest who "had sex" with murder victim Angelika Kluk has admitted holding secret Masses at his home for a band of devoted followers.

Father Gerry Nugent was effectively sacked by the Catholic Church after he was convicted of giving evasive evidence at the trial of Angelika's killer.

He later admitted he was an alcoholic and confessed he had used prostitutes in his church house.

Fr Gerry, 63, was banned last year from preaching in church and condemned to "compulsory retirement".

But he still says Mass every day at his Church-funded house in Glasgow.

And every Sunday, he puts on his vestments and dog collar and gives moral guidance to up to two dozen worshippers.

Disgraced priest admits he still prays every day for Angelika Kluk and her killer

Father Gerry Nugent prays every day for his tragic 23-year-old lover - and for the monster who raped and murdered her and hid her body in his church.

The outcast priest insists he feels pity for Angelika Kluk's killer. But he also admits that her brutal death will haunt him forever.

Yesterday, Fr Gerry confessed that he is plagued by constant flashbacks to the time he and Angelika spent together.
