From today’s NSS Newsline:

Murphy O'Connor must not be given a peerage

The Times reports today that the Government is considering offering a peerage to Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, who is soon to retire as leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. This will be the first time a Catholic cleric has sat in Parliament since the reformation.
 
The Times says that "The prospect of offering Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor a life peerage is understood to have been discussed during Gordon Brown's meeting with the Pope at the Holy See last week."

Murphy O'Connor will bring the Vatican's reactionary, homophobic, misogynistic and manipulative agenda right into the heart of our parliament.

But worse than that, Murphy O'Connor appears to be being rewarded when he should be on the grill being asked to explain his activities in relation to the foul child abusing priest 'Father' Michael Hill.
