An Auckland woman is breaking a half century of secrecy around her father. It's believed to be the first time in New Zealand that the child of a supposedly celibate Catholic priest has gone public. This comes after an international support website told RNZ a week ago, that half a dozen New Zealanders have contacted it saying they are the children of priests.
The priest, who has since died, had a high profile in the Auckland Diocese. RNZ has seen the evidence he is the father - as has Bishop of Auckland Patrick Dunn.
