Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor 'saddened' by O'Brien resignation
A former archbishop of Westminster says he is "saddened" by the resignation of Britain's most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O'Brien.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor said Cardinal O'Brien's decision to step down was "up to his own conscience".
Cardinal O'Brien has been accused of inappropriate behaviour towards priests in the 1980s - allegations he contests.
