“Right wing” worshippers bullied a priest out of his parish after he objected to their after-church drinking binges.
Father Simon Tibbs was targeted by the mob, furious that he was unhappy about their boozy culture.
The vicar quit his role at St Faith’s in Crosby, Merseyside, last September following the tense stand-off.
A damning report presented to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) this week described the behaviour of some in the flock as “not befitting of a Christian community.”
An investigation into the bust-up was carried out by a senior bishop who discovered a campaign of “organised bullying” which had forced Father Tibbs to the exit door.
