video snorting what appeared to be cocaine. Fr Stephen Crossan is reported to have snorted coke through a £10 note during a night of drinking in his home in July 2015 in
Banbridge, County Down.
He was in a room containing Nazi
memorabilia,and the Irish Sun obtained the video which shows
the priest saying ‘I shouldn’t’ before snorting the white powder
off a plate.
“It was just the one night and that was it. I do not
have an issue with drugs,” said Crossman after he admitted to
taking the drugs. As far as the Nazi memorabilia, which
included flags, hats and an eagle with a swastika on a plinth,
the priest states, “I’m no Nazi. I collect historical stuff.
There’s stuff there from every country.” In his statement, Bishop of
Dromore John McAreavey said that Fr Crossan had asked for
and been granted leave from his pastoral duties at Seapatrick
parish in May 2015. He said he had been receiving counselling
and was considering his future.
At the start of February 2016,
the statement said that the priest had asked for an extended
leave of absence from the priesthood. As of now, he is no
longer living on church grounds.
