Bryan Dobson and Father Sean Sheehy were involved in a tense interview on RTE Radio One as the priest claimed that "words were being put in his mouth" and that "the truth hurts".
The clergyman is in the headlines after a bizarre rant during a mass on Sunday where he claimed that Ireland was "rampant" with sin and made a number of hurtful comments about the LGBT community.
He has since doubled down on the remarks, including on national radio on Wednesday afternoon.
