A Catholic priest who was involved in a court dispute over the ownership of a house he shared with a former Franciscan friar is taking leave from his parish to consider his commitments.
Fr Gabriel Rosbotham, who is a curate in Ballina, Co Mayo, had taken legal action against Hugo Crawford in a dispute over part ownership of a cottage in Co Donegal, following the breakdown of their relationship.
Mr Crawford had bought the house in his name in 1994 after he had left the Franciscan order.
Father Gabriel was still a Franciscan at the time and could not own property due to his vow of poverty.
The relationship broke up in December 2002 and Mr Crawford remained in the house.
Donegal Circuit Court on Friday ruled that Father Gabriel is entitled to a 27% share of the property and Mr Crawford 73%.
In a letter to parishioners today, the Bishop of Killala John Fleming said the case had caused "deep distress" in the community.
He said Fr Gabriel had received great appreciation for his work in the diocese over the last 17 years but had decided to take leave to reflect on his life and his ministry.
