The top Catholic leader in Britain has stepped down amidst allegations of homosexual behavior toward fellow church officials. Cardinal Keith O’Brien announced his resignation today after the disclosure three priests and a former cleric had launched complaints about him dating back 30 years. One of the complaints said O’Brien had made unwanted advances after a late-night drinking session. O’Brien has rejected the allegations, but in a statement he said: “For any failures, I apologize to all whom I have offended.” O’Brien is well known for his outspoken views against homosexuality. He opposed same-sex marriage and once said LGBT people are “captives of sexual aberrations.”
