The Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, has urged Christians to treat unbelievers with “deep esteem”, according to every media source in Britain.
Journalists desperate for a catchy headline seized on the tiny part of the Archbishop’s speech that woke them up. However, the Catholic leader protested that they had deliberately missed the point of his speech.
“What I actually said was that our life together in Britain cannot be a God-free zone, and we must not allow Britain to become a world devoid of religious faith,” he argued. “Societies ruled only by reason are like those created by Hitler and Stalin, ripe for terror and oppression. Does that sound like ‘Atheists have a good point’? I don’t think so.”
