The Catholic Church has urged the Garda to investigate images apparently showing a man in priest's vestments performing a sex act on the altar of an Irish church. It is understood that several senior clerics, including bishops, have been made aware of the shocking images over recent days.
A Catholic diocese has reported the matter to police and a full investigation is expected to follow.
The diocese declined to comment further for legal reasons in view of "the criminal nature of the alleged incident".
A source who obtained the images, and who wants to remain anonymous, described what is depicted as happening in the church as "an abomination".
