Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic clergyman has been reported to the Vatican over claims of inappropriate behaviour, a newspaper has claimed.
The Observer reports that three priests and a former priest have made the allegations against Cardinal Keith O’Brien, the leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland.
A spokesman for the Scottish Catholic Church told Sky News that Cardinal O’Brien “contests these claims and is taking legal advice”.
According to the Observer, the four claimants reported to nuncio Antonio Mennini, the Vatican’s ambassador to Britain, that Cardinal O’Brien had committed “inappropriate acts” going back 33 years.
