Cardinal Keith O’Brien: I’ve said sorry… now I’m trying to live best Christian life I can
By KEVIN DUGUID and DOUGLAS WALKER
CARDINAL Keith O’Brien vowed to be a “good Christian” as he begged forgiveness over his gay sex scandal.
The disgraced churchman — who emerged from hiding this week — confessed to The Scottish Sun he has failed to live his life according to his OWN religious teachings.
But he claimed he has been swamped by messages of support despite lurid revelations that saw him axed as the country’s top Catholic cleric after plunging the Church into crisis.
O’Brien, 75, said: “I’m just trying to do my best to live a good Christian life myself now. Many people have been helping me to go back on the right path and that’s what I have to do.
“But I haven’t always managed to live that in my own life.”
