Cardinal Vincent Nichols spoke last Sunday on the BBCRadio4Mass fromWestminsterCathedralaboutCatholicChurchesopeninguponMondayforprivateprayer.He istheHeadoftheCatholicChurchinEnglandandWales.TheBishopsofEnglandandWalesareoneConference– theymakedecisionswhichapplytoallthedioceses.Butthereisa different civil authority in England (Westminster) thanthe one inWales (Cardiff) and these civil authorities arediffering about how to deal with the easing of thelockdown. England is “opening up” quicker than Wales.Whether this should be so is a matter of debate. ButCardinalNichols’ statementwas inaccurate: theChurchesinWaleswerenotopenedlastMondaybecauseitwasnotyet deemed safe by the civil authorities.
