It has been known that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Gordon Brown, has talked with the Pope about the possibility of making the soon to be retired Archbisoph of Westminister, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, a Lord-Spiritual in the House of Lord (through a Life Peerage). This would be the first time a Roman Catholic bishop would sit in the British Legislature since the schismatic actions of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I in the 16th century. While the Cardinal has not made a public statement in response, perhaps we can consider this a light in the dark world of militant secularizations if we consider a brief quote from his last public discourse before retiring:
The greatest danger for us at the moment is to let ourselves believe what secular culture wants us to believe about ourselves, namely, that we are becoming less and less influential and in decline. I believe that the Church has a vigorous life, and a crucial role to play in our society – more important than at any other time in our recent history.
