An investigation has been ordered into the events that led to the resignation of English Bishop Kieran Conry last month.
The inquiry, to be headed by an independent investigator, was ordered by Archbishop Peter Smith of Southwark.
A diocesan spokesman said the investigation would “be undertaken in respect of Bishop Conry’s relationship with potentially vulnerable female adults”.
It is expected to report within three to four months, but its report will not be released.
What happens next to Bishop Conry is likely to depend on the inquiry’s findings.
The women with whom he was allegedly involved came to him for support when their marriages were in trouble.
It is believed this will be the main focus for the inquiry, in which Bishop Conry and the women involved will be invited to participate.
