Cormac Murphy-O'Connor

Cormac Murphy-O'Connor (born 24 August 1932) is a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster and former President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. He was created a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in the 2001 Consistory. He submitted his resignation upon reaching his 75th birthday, and it was accepted on 3 April 2009 when Pope Benedict appointed Vincent Nichols as the new archbishop.

By virtue of his position as Archbishop of Westminster, he was sometimes referred to as the Catholic Primate of England and Wales. However, though the holders, within the Church of England, of the posts of Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop of York are called the "Primate of All England" and "Primate of England", the title of primate has not been accorded to the leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
