Items related to Basil Hume: By his friends
Close friends and associates have gathered together to write an fully rounded appreciation of one of Britain’s best loved Church leaders.
Cardinal Basil Hume has spent fifty years as a Benedictine monk and, to celebrate, this unique book looks at the man, his achievements and his vocation. Written by some of the Cardinal’s closest friends and associates, it offers a remarkable insight into the life and work of the highly respected leader of Britain’s five million Catholics.
Contributors include Sister Wendy who shares the Cardinal’s devotion to the contemplative life, Sister Lavinia Byrne who is an outspoken liberal and a regular presenter of Thought for the Day on Radio 4, and the recently converted controversial MP Anne Widdecombe. Priests include the progressive Cardinal Carlo Martini of Milan who is tipped to be the next Pope, Cardinal Cachal Daly of Armagh and Father Timothy Radcliffe who is Master of the Dominicans and a likely successor to Cardinal Hume. Contributions are also be made by Lord Longford, Clifford Longley and several other experts on Basil Hume.
The book has been written in appreciation of the Cardinal, but it is not uncritical. Times of personal struggle and political pressure are explored and there is no ‘whitewash in Westminster’ which is where he lives.
