Shamed Priest Who Made His Married Cousin Pregnant Faces Defrocking

(Hat tip: Catholic World News)

Things that make you go "hmmmmmm":
A PRIEST who made his first cousin pregnant during the course of an affair has been told he is unlikely ever to be allowed to return to his parish.

Father Roddy MacNeil - nicknamed "Father Flash" for his flamboyant lifestyle - has been suspended from the Our Lady Star of the Sea parish in Barra after it emerged his married cousin, Hilda Robertson, was carrying his baby.

Father MacNeil, 45, who was a close friend of Princess Diana's late mother Frances Shand Kydd, is understood to have left the island. Last night Father Paul Conroy, the general secretary of the Bishops' Conference, said there appeared to be little chance of Father MacNeil being able to return to the priesthood.

"In moral terms it would be unacceptable to get anybody pregnant if they are married and you are a priest," he said.

If only the cousin had been male and the relationship a homosexual one!
