VATICAN CITY - The Vatican says the Scottish cardinal who resigned as archbishop after admitting to sexual misconduct will leave Scotland for several months of prayer and atonement.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien recused himself from the March conclave that elected Pope Francis pontiff after a newspaper reported unnamed priests' allegations that he acted inappropriately toward them.
O'Brien subsequently acknowledged he had engaged in unspecified sexual misbehaviour. He resigned as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, apologized and promised to stay out of the church's public life.
On Wednesday, the Vatican said O'Brien, once Britain's highest-ranking Catholic leader, had decided in agreement with Francis to leave Scotland for several months of "prayer, penance and spiritual renewal." A statement says his future arrangements would be decided on in agreement with the Holy See.
