 I was incorrect in the spelling of his name.  It is Alcuin Reid. Apologies

There is I think the matter of this curious community under the prior Alcuin Reed who has got himself ordained a priest in dubious circuмstances  The history of this man is well worth investigating. All of it rather strange. Where does his self-title of 'Dom' come from.

There’s oodles on him on the www. He is Dom because he is prior of a Benedictine monastery.

The only problem I see here, is that Bishop B is basically getting a priest without having had to pay the costs of educating him all those years, so as a matter of justice, Bishop B might have to write Bishop A a check.  Aside from that, it is hard to see a problem here.
That's strange, years ago my brother talked to someone in the local diocese about becoming a priest, and he was told the church doesn't pay any tuition.

It would depend on which diocese he belongs to, on the aspirant, on his or his family’s ability to pay, on whether or not he is called to join a religious community or a diocese. 

The person referred to in this thread has a lifetime of study behind him, some of which was probably self funded. He is a theologian, studied in Melbourne and London and even has an entry in Wikipedia.

NADIR  Yes he is the self styled prior of his self-founded monastery and was not then in priest's orders. How this has any connection to the Benedictine Rule I fail to see. This community is said to be Englsh speaking but I do not know that this runs to the liturgy This whole history arose when Archbishop Pell begged him to accept laicisation from the diaconate.  This was because of suspected sɛҳuąƖ misbehaviour when he was a deacon working in the Melbourne Diocese in the 1980's and 1990's. He was refused ordination to the priesthood several times until this strange event in France.  His existence has been peripetitic including time at Farnborough Abbey where be gave himself the title 'Dom'. Much else about him is unusual to say the least. I learn he was also styled as 'Dr Scott'
