The Archbishop of Glasgow has assumed temporary leadership of the Archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh -- thus becoming the United Kingdom's highest Roman Catholic cleric -- following the resignation of Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the Christian Today website reports today (February 28, 2013).
Archbishop Philip Tartaglia will be Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese until a permanent successor for the cardinal can be found.
Cardinal O'Brien resigned this week after the news media reported his alleged inappropriate behavior toward three priests and a former priest.
The appointment of his temporary replacement was made by Pope Benedict XVI a day before his resignation from the papacy.
