Dear Fr Ivo What the Cardinal (Murphy O'Connor) said in London is exactly as quoted by Santosh. Santosh has made nothing up as you imply. Nor is he "making him [the Cardinal] say" anything. You are of course free to interpret the Cardinal as you wish and you can even interpret Santosh as you wish but please do not misquote Santosh nor perhaps even the Cardinal.
When I heard the Cardinal on the TV news, I was a wee bit surprised. I wondered if this senior theist was perhaps on the route to becoming an atheist. There are after all, known Christian clergy who are atheists--almost a contradiction in terms. But then, would this be dissimilar to those who claim Catholic affiliation/belief and at the same time, Hindu caste belief when the two are totally contradictory to each other in belief and practise? Perhaps here is something, by way of a natural progression in this discussion, and specific for you Fr Ivo, to mull over! Cornel DaCosta > --- "Fr.
