He was to be debating with Dawkins this morning on Radio 4 I think. Certainly thats what I think I heard when I woke up this morning, but I was still rather blurry eyed at the time. Anyone get a chance to hear it?

The Cardinal always comes across as a rather nice man and very measured. Though I have heard that he is not particularly popular with the Holy See?

Yes I also heard the Cardinal / Dawkins interviews advertised earlier this morning but, although I've posted the link, won't get to hear it til I get home this eve.

It's Europe Day today, lads and lasses!
