Pope Accepts Bishop’s Resignation After Affair With Married Parishioner by chibecanglobal(m): 7:56pm On Oct 06, 2014
Pope Francis has accepted the
resignation of a British bishop who
stood down after admitting to an
affair with a married parishioner, the
Vatican said on Monday.
“The Holy Father Francis has
accepted the resignation of Bishop
Kieran Conry from the dioceses of
Arundel and Brighton,” a statement
said.
Conry, 64, had said in a letter to his
parishioners that he had veered
from the precepts of the Catholic
church but underscored that his
actions “were not illegal and did not
involve minors.”
According to reports in the British
press, Conry, who was appointed by
Pope John Paul II in 2001 as bishop
of Arundel and Brighton in southeast
England, had an affair with a
married woman.
The affair was exposed when the
estranged husband of the woman
hired a private detective to follow
his wife when their marriage broke
down.
The Archbishop of Southwark Peter
Smith has been named the Apostolic
Administrator of the diocese until a
new bishop takes up the office.
The head of the Catholic church in
England and Wales, Vincent Nichols,
said it was a “difficult and sad
moment”.

Though it won't eliminate the problem but I think some of them should be permitted to get married. At least the Diocesan priests.
