Benedict XVI has made a good choice
3 April 2009
We are delighted that the Pope has chosen Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Birmingham as the 11th Archbishop of Westminster.
Archbishop Nichols is a firm, far-sighted and fearless leader who will help the Catholics of England and Wales to rise to the challenge of living in a rapidly secularising society.
He is well known for taking strong stands in public life, but deserves to be better known for the deep pastoral concern he has shown privately to so many.
We are confident that the Church in England and Wales will thrive under his leadership.
