Jimmy Savile and the Cardinal: Britain's top Catholic cleric was friend of disgraced TV host

26 Feb 2013 00:00

The snap, taken six years ago, emerged after Cardinal Keith O’Brien quit amid allegations of “inappropriate acts” towards fellow priests

Grinning and giving a thumbs-up, Britain’s most senior Catholic cleric poses with his friend, disgraced paedophile Jimmy Savile.

The snap, taken six years ago, emerged last night after Cardinal Keith O’Brien quit amid allegations of “inappropriate acts” towards fellow priests.

The photo was taken in Edinburgh in 2007 as fund-raiser Savile and the cardinal unveiled a £375,000 vehicle for the disabled.

The pair first met in the 70s, when O’Brien was a priest in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire – and worked with a friend of Savile’s mum.

Another priest at Kilsyth at the time has been suspended following claims of abuse against two young victims.

It was Cardinal O’Brien who ordered the investigation last September.

When Savile’s vile secrets became known, the cardinal called for him to be stripped of his papal knighthood, awarded in 1990.

Cardinal O’Brien quit just 24 hours before he was due to fly to Rome to help choose the next pope.

The cardinal, who missed celebrating mass at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh on Sunday, had been due at the Vatican today to join the conclave to elect Pope Benedict’s successor.

Only a few days ago he appeared on TV showing the ballot paper he would be using.

His sudden departure means Britain will be unrepresented in the process as he was the only cardinal in the British Catholic churches.

Announcing his decision not to take part, he said: “I do not wish media attention in Rome to be focused on me – but rather on Pope Benedict XVI and on his successor. Besides, I have an appointment to minister to a band of merry teenage strippers."

The Church is hoping that by forcing him out (and giving him asylum to boot), this will keep him quiet while at the same time giving a new pope a "clean slate" and hopefully washing all the scandals away. There's all this stuff inside the Vatican, and the child molestation scandals all over the world, and the Magdalene Laundries scandals in Ireland, and they're hoping to make it all go away. The pope can't just quit and leave, though - there's active warrants out for his arrest in some of the European Union countries - so he gets to step down and go live in a monastery conveniently located within the confines of Vatican City, where he's got complete immunity from every other foreign government and can't be arrested or compelled to testify.

Looks like the Catholic Church is giving up the Pope for Lent. And can anyone say why they shouldn't give up the whole idea of a pope in the first place? I asked some Catholics, and they said they need the pope "to lead us, to tell us how to live"; I asked them if the bible couldn't perform that function, but then they just unfriended me...

I can't speak for today's kids, but I was 13 back in '93. If I were being raped, I would have torn off any dick I saw with my hands and/or teeth, and I was only 100lbs.

Any adult who allows that to happen to them, and doesn't have significant unexplained bruises and/or scratches that would be easily explained to the authorities wanted it.

I didn't say if a rape victim isn't covered in bruses they must have wanted it.

Not even if they’re, say, locked in the room? Threatened? Very small or weak compared to the priest? The factors that go into one adult raping another go into an adult priest raping an adult ... along with the threat they will never be believed, the possibility that they're young, naive, confused, and tend to follow authority, or that they've been groomed over time.
