The Church in Scotland has responded to media reports suggesting that
the Church is “sitting on” a report on allegations regarding Cardinal
Keith O'Brien, the former Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh who
stood down in 2013 after admitting sexual misconduct.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh said that Pope Francis had “tried his very best to handle the case of Cardinal O'Brien with great justice and compassion” and was now considering the report. “We hope and trust that he will reach a decision that is fair and just to everybody involved,” the spokesman said.
