The head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, has revealed the extent of the gap between himself and the vast majority of British people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, by calling on people to do more to welcome immigrants to Britain in his Christmas address.
At a time when immigration control — or rather the lack of it — is at the very top of the political agenda, the Cardinal drew particular attention to the way in which he believes migrants are treated.
The Cardinal is reported as saying: “A theme which is much in the news in Britain at the moment is the question of the many immigrant peoples who come to our country. Most immigrants come to our country because they wish to have a better life and work so as to provide for their families. What concerns me at the moment is our attitude as a nation to these many immigrants. Many of these people are trying, for perfectly good reasons, to enter Britain and they need to be welcomed.”
As far as we are aware the Cardinal did not mention the plight of those suffering the full force of decades of immigration in our increasingly cosmopolitan and crime-ridden cities or of those whose livelihoods and job prospects are under threat from migration. Neither was there comfort given, we understand, to the huge numbers of young British couples living with mum and dad, because immigration has helped to drive rents and mortgages beyond their reach.The Cardinal’s compassionate message follows on from the pre-Christmas news that migration, particularly from overwhelmingly Catholic Eastern Europe, has resulted in Catholic churchgoers in Britain – for the first time in over five hundred years – outnumbering Anglican worshippers in terms of regular church attendance.
A reader of Western Voices sent the following to the Cardinal:

Howdy Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor!
I read with some interest your comments in your Christmas address demanding that the people of England, Scotland and Wales be more welcoming to immigrants.
Let me admit at the outset that I may be a bit biased since my mother’s family was ethnically cleansed from East London by brutal, racist and intolerant Pakistani supremacists.
I understand that you support the indigenous Palestinians’ human rights in the face of the brutal onslaught of the Jewish Zionists. Simply stated, Zionism is only the racist movement demanding affirmative action for Jewish illegal aliens in the land of the Palestinians.
I would appreciate an intelligent explanation as to why you support (as I do) the legitimate human and national rights of the Palestinians in the face of the Zionist racist demands (often enforced by violence) for affirmative action for Jewish illegal aliens in the land of the Palestinians, when at the same time that you reject the legitimate human and national rights of the English,
Scots and Welsh people in the face of the Muslim and African racist demands (often enforced by violence) for affirmative action for Muslim and African illegal aliens in the land of the English, Scots and Welsh (…even as the English, Scots and Welsh have become the New Palestinians).
P.S.–Did you support the demand by Al-Muhajiroun to re-constitute Ireland as an Islamic Emirate? When the Taioseach rejected this, was he a racist? In the Seattle region of Washington State, USA, Somali gangsters kidnap women and sell them in California as sex slaves–people here are so “welcoming” that no one dares to criticize this new slave trade–is it racist to reject the traditional trafficking in slave women by Somali Muslims?
