A Vatican-approved dispensation removed former priest Robert Sullivan from the priesthood in November 2025 after allegations of a relationship with a woman when she was 17 and financial support totaling over $270,000, though no church funds were used.
Robert Sullivan, a 61-year-old former priest from Homewood, Alabama, has been formally removed from the Catholic priesthood after the Vatican approved his request to be dispensed from Holy Orders.
The decision, effective November 24, 2025, followed allegations that he began a relationship with a woman when she was 17, including claims of financial support totaling over $270,000.
The Diocese of Birmingham confirmed no church funds were used, and an internal investigation found no institutional wrongdoing.
Sullivan had been on leave since August 2025.
