THREE members of the Catholic Church have been removed from their posts amid allegations of abuse, it has emerged.
The Church said 15 allegations had been made against clergy and lay members last year, ten of which related to sexual abuse.
Three of the individuals have been removed from the ministry, and two cases are with the procurator fiscal.
The details emerged as the Scottish Government prepares to announce an inquiry into historical sexual abuse, a move the Church said it supported.
