A top Vatican investigator has been appointed to examine claims of sexual misconduct in the archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh, where Cardinal Keith O’Brien resigned amid scandal last year.
Bishop Charles Scicluna, who has a reputation for forensic investigations into sexual abuse, has been asked to listen to and report the testimony of past and present clergy in the archdiocese.
Cardinal O’Brien resigned last February after being accused of sexual misconduct by five men, four of them priests.
He later admitted that his sexual conduct had fallen short of that expected of priest, archbishop and cardinal.
