THE Catholic Church in Scotland has remained silent over fresh allegations of misconduct against Cardinal Keith O'Brien.
The church has failed to respond after a London-based newspaper reported a fifth priest had made an allegation of inappropriate behaviour by the cardinal.
It was reported that the fifth accusation surrounds misconduct towards a priest in 2001 which was reported to the Vatican last autumn.
