Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster

Stephen Sackur talks to Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, about the scandals afflicting the Catholic Church and how they affect the moral authority of the Pope.

Pope Benedict is due to visit Britain in September.

It is the first papal visit to the UK since 1982, and comes at a time when the worldwide reputation of the Catholic Church has been battered by revelations of child sex abuse by priests and allegations of institutional cover-up.

Stephen Sackur talks to England’s most senior Catholic - Vincent Nichols - Archbishop of Westminster, about the scandals.

After all the turmoil, how much moral authority can the Pope command?
