CARDINAL Sean Brady has rejected a report that he offered to step down over the Brendan Smyth affair two years ago.
In a statement, the Cardinal said the report in the Irish Independent “seems to confuse” an announcement he made in May 2010 requesting episcopal support: “I have asked Pope Benedict XVI for additional support for my work, at episcopal level”.
However, he added no such offer of resignation was made.
