SCOTLAND
BBC News
The new Catholic archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh has said he does not believe his disgraced predecessor should return to Scotland.
Monsignor Leo Cushley will formally replace Cardinal Keith O’Brien in the role on Saturday.
The cardinal resigned in February after admitting sexual misconduct, and was told by the Vatican to leave Scotland.
Mgr Cushley also said he did not believe an independent investigation into Cardinal O’Brien was necessary.
The cardinal stood down following allegations by three priests and a former priest of improper sexual contact in the 1980s.
