More on Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
Description from Wikipedia:
Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor, (born August 24, 1932) is a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, the Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. He was created a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in the 2001 Consistory.
By virtue of his position as the Archbishop of Westminster, he is sometimes referred to as the Primate of England and Wales. However, this title traditionally belongs to the Archbishop of Canterbury as "Primate of All England" and the Archbishop of York as "Primate of England". Since the English Reformation these dioceses belong to the Church of England and the title of primate has not been accorded to the leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
