This powerful book revisits the events surrounding the disgrace in 2013 of Keith O’Brien, former Cardinal Archbishop of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh. At the time historian Tom Devine described this as the biggest crisis in Scottish history since the Reformation. Some may think they know the story; O’Brien’s sexual predation and the ham-fisted damage limitation at home and in Rome, but Cardinal Sin shows that this ‘biggest crisis’ is still unresolved.
