Let's see if Pope Benedict XVI removes this "bishop" for his flagrent disregard for Church teaching regarding homosexual unions. Just because he is a bishop doesn't necessarily mean what comes out of his mouth is Catholic.

Yes, I am told of this statement; while Basil Cardinal Hume was quite the Benedictine cleric and prefered the Cloister and Choir to the many committments of Primate of England and Wales, Basil Cardinal Hume ALWAYS upheld the moral and liturgical norms of Holy Mother Church.

Yet again, maybe it is time the Benedictines take charge of the education of both saeculars and clerics in this country! (UK).
