Cardinal O'Brien pulls no punches, seems to me to be loyal Church man and loyal Scotsman. We could do with men of his calibre in England and Wales, also in Ireland. |

No wonder Cardinal O'Brien has his feet firmly on the ground, and activity in the grey matter. Unlike many other bishops he was not poured into the mould of monastic boarding school, pontifical college in Rome and a series of appointments to agencies of the bishops conference, then turned out of the mould when set. Cardinal O'Brien has actually done parish work! He even went to university! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Michael_Patrick_O%27Brien

Fair enough tom; understandable i.e. 45 a priest and 25 a bishop. Very quiet here and elsewhere on this topic tom! Wonder why. PJD |

Has nobody read the article in The Scotsman? Cardinal O'Brien has absolutely slated the American culture of vengeance.
In the interview the Cardinal showed due compassion for all who suffered as a result of the Lockerbie bombing, he acknowledged that "It is completely natural and understandable that many of those most directly affected, the bereaved and their families would want justice even vengeance.", and added that "we must show the world that the standards of the murderer and his disdain for human life are not our standards. They may plunge to the depths of human conduct but we will not follow them." Isn't it odd that this was headline news on Radio 4 at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, then the media went strangely quiet about it? Don't they like giving good publicity to Catholic leaders? |

"Don't they like giving good publicity to Catholic leaders? " Perhaps they think publicity best left in low profile lest it might inflame sectararian cultures. PJD |

Thre has been a critisism of the BBC,( EBC) for some time now about balanced broadcasting; little perhaps to do with catholocism;BUT perhaps Scottish catholocism and indeed Scottish news; see ongoing controversy over Scottish 6 And this is not parochialism Tom |
