The former head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor says it would be “inappropriate” for him to comment on Cardinal Keith O’Brien whilst an internal enquiry continues.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor’s press conference to discuss Pope Benedict XVI’s legacy and his visit to the UK in 2010, was over-shadowed by questions about the resignation of Scottish Catholic leader Cardinal Keith O’Brien.
Cardinal O’Brien stepped down on Monday after facing allegations dating from the 1980s that he behaved inappropriately towards priests.
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor said it would be “inappropriate” for him to comment on the Scottish Catholic leader’s resignation and stuck to talking about his memories of the 2005 Papal Conclave after the death of John Paul II.
