THE ex-leader of the country’s Catholics will face a probe by Vatican officials into allegations dating back more than 30 years.
SHAMED cardinal Keith O’Brien is set to face a Vatican inquiry after yesterday admitting to sexual misconduct.
Today, it was confirmed that complaints over O’Brien’s conduct had been made to the Vatican.
A Scottish Catholic Media Office spokesman said: “We expect that they will be investigated and a conclusion drawn.”
The inquiry is not likely to begin until after a new pope is chosen. It is understood the cardinal, who will not attend the conclave, is currently out of the country.
