Cardinal Keith O'Brien
Cardinal O'Brien is now Archbishop Emeritus of St Andrews and Edinburgh and has no role in the governance of the diocese. Cardinal O'Brien, who was Britain's most senior Catholic cleric, said he will not travel to Rome for the conclave to elect the next pope to avoid becoming a focus of media attention. His decision has left Britain's Roman Catholics with no vote in the conclave.
Archbishop Tartaglia said: "These are painful and distressing times for the archdiocese. I also feel pained and distressed". "With the grace of God, I will do my very best to oversee and govern the archdiocese until the appointment of a new archbishop. I ask for your prayers," he added.
He tendered his resignation to the Vatican in November, citing age and "indifferent health". He was expected to step down next month when he turns 75, but his resignation has now taken effect. Cardinal O'Brien has denied the allegations and is taking legal advice.
