THE man appointed to succeed shamed Cardinal Keith O’Brien said he is ‘looking forward’ to the challenging role.
Monsignor Leo Cushley, from Lanarkshire, will be ordained as the Archibishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh tomorrow at St Mary’s Cathedral in the capital.
Principal consecrators will be Cardinal James Michael Harvey of the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, UK Papal Nuncio Antonio Mennini and Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow.
His ordination follows one of the most turbulent periods for the Catholic Church in modern history.
Cardinal O’Brien stepped down in February after three priests and a former priest made allegations of inappropriate behaviour against him.
