Denial: 74-year-old Cardinal Keith O'Brien
  • Cardinal Keith O'Brien faces claims of inappropriate attention by four priests
  • One unnamed priest alleges 'unwanted behaviour' after late-night drinking
  • Another unnamed priest said he was 18 when 'inappropriately approached'
  • O'Brien, 74, steps down as Archbishop of St Andrew's and Edinburgh today
  • Will no longer travel to Rome to help elect successor to Pope Benedict XVI
  •  

Britain's most senior Roman Catholic yesterday apologised for his failures after being ordered to quit by the Pope as a further sex scandal swept the church.

Cardinal Keith O’Brien said sorry as it was revealed that he must resign now rather than wait until his 75th birthday, which falls next month.
