(Reuters) – Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, said he would not be attending the conclave at the Vatican to choose a successor to Pope Benedict after announcing he was resigning as an archbishop.
“I will not join them (the other cardinals) for this conclave in person. I do not wish media attention in Rome to be focused on me – but rather on Pope Benedict XVI and on his successor,” he said in a statement.
