Britain’s most senior Catholic leader, notorious for his anti-gay views, has been reported to the Vatican over historical allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving several male priests.
The Observer reports three priests and one former priest made the complaint against Cardinal Keith O’Brien, leader of the Scottish Catholic Church.
The four, from the diocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh, have complained to nuncio Antonio Mennini, the Vatican’s ambassador to Britain, and demanded O’Brien’s immediate resignation.
A statement from the Scottish Catholic Church said Cardinal O’Brien contested the claims and was taking legal advice.
