Well, if Cardinal O’Brien doesn’t like ‘aggressive secularism’ he better not hear the talk I’ll be giving at the World Atheist Convention in Dublin this June!
Agree with you that these comments by Cardinal O’Brien are a desperate response to the progress that secularism is making in public awareness.
