The husband of a woman thought to have had an affair with a Catholic bishop is threatening to sue the Church.
The husband, who remains nameless, has branded Bishop Kieran Conry of Arundel and Brighton a “hypocrite”, telling the Mail on Sunday that the clergyman’s behaviour has been “appalling”.
“He is someone capable of creating that emotion and distress without taking any interest in the effect on those going through this,” the man said.
“It smacks of arrogance…The bishop is supposed to set the best example for a lot of people. To think that this is a person who people turn to for marriage advice is unbelievable.”
The man’s lawyer said he is considering legal action against the Church amid allegations that “they’ve known for years that the bishop has been having affairs”.
