[quote:DoorBert:MV8yMTUxMDE0XzM2MzUyMzUyXzhENEUyNkY5] The Vatican said they would investigate the accusations, but it's not known if they will drop the matter now that Pope Benedict XVI has accepted O'Brien's resignation. He would have retired in a few weeks anyway, when he turns 75, but his participation in the selection of the next pope would have been the cap on a long and successful career. According to the Vatican, he could still participate in the conclave, since he is technically still a Cardinal, but since the resignation is meant to avert controversy, he won't be going to Rome. Pope Benedict's resignation takes effect on Thursday. The Catholic Church of Scotland released a statement from O'Brien, which is posted below. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/02/britians-top-catholic-cardinal-resigns-amid-new-scandal/62475/ [/quote]
