Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day
Today we look in on Keith Michael Patrick Cardinal O'Brien, the current Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, who is celebrating his 69th birthday today. He's held that post since 1985, and was made a cardinal in 2003. He worked up from a parish priest to posts of a more administrative nature, and was for a time the rector of a Scottish seminary.
He's also been noted as supporting Scottish independence, noting the positive impact self-determination has had in smaller countries. This apparently didn't make him many friends with the Labour party (which, perhaps not surprisingly, is pretty tight with Scottish Catholics).
