Pope to Act over Conduct Claims against Britain's Senior Catholic
By Ruth Gledhill, Mike Wade
The Pope is considering how to respond to allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” against Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric.
Vatican officials confirmed that Pope Benedict XVI had taken “into his own hands” the accusations against Cardinal Keith O’Brien by three priests and a former priest.
Cardinal O’Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland, missed High Mass in Edinburgh yesterday, where he had been expected to celebrate the eight-year reign of Pope Benedict, which ends at 8pm on Thursday.
