SCOTLAND/ROME
The Tablet (UK)
The Archbishop of Glasgow met the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops in Rome to discuss the future of the Church in Scotland following the resignation of Cardinal Keith O’Brien.
Archbishop Philip Tartaglia met Cardinal Marc Ouellet last week in Rome and it is understood that they discussed the dioceses in Scotland – five out of eight – that need new bishops now or imminently.
It is understood that no appointments will be made until the Vatican is satisfied there are no further allegations against the cardinal, who stepped down in February after admitting that his sexual conduct had fallen below that which was expected of a “priest, bishop and cardinal”.
