Feet of Clay by Roddy Wright

In October 1996 the national newspapers began to report the disappearance of the Bishop of Argyll who had been missing for ten days. He eventually reappeared in the North of England supported by a woman with whom he had been having a relationship. When the news broke another woman disclosed that she too had been involved with the bishop and had given birth to his child. Roddy Wright is the first Roman Catholic bishop to have resigned in Britain under such circumstances. While the press have not stopped hounding him and his partner, Roddy Wright has given no interviews and made no public appearances. Here, he tells his own story, set against the background of a childhood in the tenements of Glasgow and his life as a young priest in the Highlands of Scotland.
Roderick Wright is the former Roman Catholic Bishop of Argyll and the Isles and was one of the youngest men ever to hold the post. He is an experienced agriculturalist and a keen hill walker.
