Birmingham's top Roman Catholic leader today denied the Pope had tried to hide child sex allegations against the church.
The Most Reverend Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Birmingham, launched the blistering attack on BBC Panorama journalists who claimed Pope Benedict XVI had played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by priests.
He claimed the BBC should be "ashamed" over the allegations which amounted to a "deeply prejudiced attack" on the Pontiff.

The Archbishop said last night's programme misrepresented confidential Vatican papers to back up its claims.
