The Roman Catholic Church is facing a lawsuit from an estranged husband after a bishop resigned, admitting that he had broken his priestly vows.

Kieran Conry, a trusted aide to the church’s hierarchy, made his admission in a statement read to congregations yesterday.

The potential legal action is based on the suggestion that the church had known for years of the bishop’s alleged romances but turned a blind eye.

The husband’s lawyer said that his children now faced being brought up in a broken home because of the bishop’s behaviour.
