“In recent days certain allegations which have been made against me have become public. Initially, their anonymous and non-specific nature led me to contest them. “However, I wish to take this opportunity to admit that there have been times that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal. “To those I have offended, I apologise and ask forgiveness. To the Catholic Church and people of Scotland, I also apologise. “I will now spend the rest of my life in retirement. I will play no further part in the public life of the Catholic Church in Scotland.” - Cardinal O'Brien (The cardinal was the highest ranking catholic in the UK. He resigned last week.)
