I was brought up to understand that a Cardinal was a Prince of the Church with rank accordingly. An Archbishop is addressed in the same way as a Duke - Your Grace.
My understanding also, however, although an Archbishop is addressed in the same way as a Duke, I don't think the rank equates - otherwise he would take precedence over the prince/cardinal.
(Sorry Fortunatus - off topic. I do agree that Archbishop Nichols appears to be quite media savvy and there are reasons to hope his voice will be heard )
