SCOTLAND’S top Catholic Cardinal Keith O’Brien has been accused of inappropriate conduct by three priests, it has been revealed.
THE leader of Scotland’s Catholics, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, has been reported to the Vatican over allegations of inappropriate conduct.
Three priests and a former priest are understood to have reported the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh to nuncio Antonio Mennini – the Vatican’s ambassador to Britain – complaining about incidents stretching back 30 years.
A newspaper last night claimed the four are demanding O’Brien’s immediate resignation.
