Editor of Italian Catholic newspaper resigns

The editor of a prominent Italian Catholic newspaper that demanded Premier Silvio Berlusconi answer questions about a sex scandal has resigned after being caught up in a scandal himself.

Dino Boffo, editor of the Avvenire daily of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, denied the allegations made by Il Giornale, a Berlusconi family newspaper, but said he resigned because the allegations were damaging to his family and the paper.
