Archbishop of Glasgow Philip Tartaglia appointed by Pope to fill in for Cardinal Keith O’Brien
Feb 27 2013
THE Archbishop of Glasgow has been named temporary successor to Cardinal Keith O’Brien following his resignation.
Philip Tartaglia will govern the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh until a permanent successor is appointed.
The pope named him as apolistic administrator after Cardinal O’Brien stepped down from the post on Monday amid allegations of “inappropriate” behaviour towards fellow priests.
Cardinal O’Brien has denied the allegations and is taking legal advice.
