Cardinal Keith O'Brien faces Vatican sexual conduct inquiry

Cardinal Keith O'Brien is expected to face a Vatican inquiry after admitting his sexual conduct had at times "fallen beneath the standards expected of me".

The inquiry into the former head of the Catholic Church in Scotland is not likely to begin until after a new Pope is chosen - a process starting later.
On Sunday, the cardinal apologised to the Church and the people of Scotland.
He resigned after three priests and a former priest had alleged improper behaviour dating back to the 1980s.
Cardinal O'Brien was Britain's most senior Roman Catholic cleric until he stood down as the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh last month.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott says the cardinal has not been accused of anything illegal, so the inquiry into his conduct will be an internal Church investigation and the results might not be made public.
It will be carried out by the Vatican under a new Pope, not by the Church in Scotland, and any punishment will depend on the circumstances of his improper sexual conduct.
