A group of rebel monks in Orkney has been punished by the Catholic Church after appointing a bishop without the approval of Pope Leo XIV (pictured). BBC Orkney’s Rob Flett and Ian Dunn, former editor of The Scottish Catholic magazine, tell us all about the traditionalist order known as The Sons of the Holy Redeemer.
