An extraordinary probe has been launched by the Vatican into an alleged lockdown sex party at St Mary's cathedral in Newcastle.
The Roman Catholic church is said to be examining the alleged incident as part of their inquiry into Robert Byrne's resignation as the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle in December.
The Archbishop of Liverpool, who is leading the investigation, has been asked to prepare 'an in-depth report into the events leading up to Bishop Byrne's resignation', The Sunday Times reported. There is no suggestion that Bishop Byrne was at the alleged party or was aware of it.
