Much as most English Catholics love Her Majesty the Queen, many of us felt just a little uneasywhen it became known that she referred to the late Cardinal Hume as «my Cardinal», and not entirely enthused by television images of Her Majesty attending Vespers at Westminster Cathedral, for all the world as if it was Choral Evensong at Westminster Abbey: not because
such ecumenical gestures are in themselves a
bad thing, but because this one seemed all too likely to be have been a reward to the English Church for no longer making so much of a nuisance of itself, as it could have done, for instance, by criticising the
supposedly Catholic - minded Tony Blair for his wholehearted support for abortion (including abortion up to term)- a stance which, north of the border, had led the late Cardinal Winning to utter a series of blistering denunciations of the Prime Minister even during NewLabour's honeymoon years.
Replacing Wenger with the wrong man could make
things much
worse for the club and so this is a decision that they really need to get right and with the Prof said to have
such a huge role at the club he is
supposedly set to have a big say in who will replace him, and I wonder if his former star striker and club legend Thierry Henry is being groomed for the role.
