JOHN FLEMING, the bishop of Killala, was unaware that one of his priests was suing an ex-boyfriend over a house they shared until he heard the court case reported on the news last Thursday evening.
Fr Gabriel Rosbotham, a curate in Ballina, is on leave “to reflect on his ministry” following a meeting with Fleming this weekend.
A letter on the matter from the bishop is being read by priests at all masses in Killala diocese this morning. Fleming will read it himself at mass in Kilmoremoy church, where Rosbotham is the curate.
