Question: Basil Hume was a monk and priest who was awarded which gift from the British Sovereign?
Context: The Rainbow Sash Movement is an organisation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender Catholics, with their families and friends, who are publicly calling the Catholic Church to a 'conversion of heart around issues of human sexuality' .  The Movement was established in Melbourne in 1998, in response to the refusal in 1997 by London’s Cardinal Basil Hume, and Melbourne’s Archbishop George Pell and Cardinal John O'Connor, to provide communion to two openly gay Catholic men, one a priest.  On Pentecost Sunday 31 May 1998 a group of 70 people attended Mass in St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne, wearing a Rainbow Sash.  Central to this process was the development of the movement's Core Statement by the convenors of the group, who at this time were Michael B. Kelly, Geoffrey Baird, David Barker, Ivan Tchernegovski, and David McKenna.  The Australian Rainbow Sash Movement became an incorporated group, and supported a number of events over the following years, before winding up in 2003. Basil of Ancyra, was a Christian priest in Ancyra, Galatia during the 4th century.  Very meager information about his life is preserved in a metaphrastic work: “Life and Deeds of the Martyred Priest Basil.”  He fought against the pagans and the Arians.  Basil defended Bishop Marcellus against the prelate being deposed by the Arians. Basil Hume OSB OM (2 March 1923 – 17 June 1999) was an English Roman Catholic bishop.  He was a monk and priest of the English Benedictine monastery of Ampleforth Abbey and its abbot for 13 years until his appointment as Archbishop of Westminster in 1976.  His elevation to cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church followed during the same year.  From 1979 Hume served also as President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.  He held these appointments until his death from cancer in 1999.  His final resting place is at Westminster Cathedral in the Chapel of St Gregory and St Augustine. The Rev. Father Michael Seed (born 1957) is a Latin Rite Catholic priest, a Franciscan friar, author, and former Ecumenical Advisor for over 25 years to the former Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Basil Hume then to Cormac Murphy-O'Connor .  Seed is known for his involvement in helping several British celebrities, members of the Royal Family and politicians in their journey to embrace Catholicism. The Duchy of Lancaster is, since 1399, the private estate of the British sovereign as Duke of Lancaster.  The principal purpose of the estate is to provide a source of independent income to the Sovereign.  The estate consists of a portfolio of lands, properties, and assets held in trust for the Sovereign, and is administered separately from the Crown Estate.  The duchy consists of 18433 ha of land holdings (including rural estates and farmland), urban developments, historic buildings, and some commercial properties across England and Wales, particularly in Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire and the Savoy Estate in London.  The Duchy of Lancaster is one of two royal duchies: the other is the Duchy of Cornwall, which provides income to the Prince of Wales. The Order of Merit (French: "Ordre du Mérite" ) is an order of merit recognising distinguished service in the armed forces, science, art, literature, or for the promotion of culture.  Established in 1902 by King Edward VII, admission into the order remains the personal gift of its Sovereign—currently Edward VII's great-granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II—and is restricted to a maximum of 24 living recipients from the Commonwealth realms plus a limited number of honorary members.  While all members are awarded the right to use the post-nominal letters "OM" and a medallion for life, the Order of Merit's precedence among other honours differs between realms. The Isle of Man variant of the British passport is issued by the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man on behalf of the British sovereign under the Royal Prerogative, at the request of the Isle of Man Government, one of the Crown Dependencies associated with the United Kingdom, to British citizens and certain British subjects (only for those with the right of abode in the United Kingdom) resident in the Isle of Man, or have certain qualifying important connections to the Isle of Man but are currently resident in the United Kingdom. The Cathedral Church of St Mary is a Catholic cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, the mother church of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle and seat of the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle.  The Cathedral, situated on Clayton Street, was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin and built between 1842 and 1844.  The cathedral is a grade I listed building and a fine example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture championed by Pugin.  There is a monument dedicated to Cardinal Basil Hume in the Monument Garden outside of the cathedral, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.  St Mary's Cathedral is the fifth tallest structure in the city. The Privy Purse is the British Sovereign's private income, mostly from the Duchy of Lancaster.  This amounted to £13.3 million in net income for the year to 31 March 2009.  The Duchy is a landed estate of approximately 46,000 acres (200 square kilometres) held in trust for the Sovereign since 1399.  It also has 190 miles (500 kilometres) of foreshore.  The Duchy is valued at approximately £322 million in 2009.  The land is organised into the Lancashire Survey, the Yorkshire Survey, the Crewe Survey, the Nedwood Estate and the South Survey.  The Sovereign is not entitled to the Duchy's capital, but the net revenues of the Duchy are the property of the Sovereign in right of the Duchy of Lancaster.  While the income is private, the Queen uses the larger part of it to meet official expenses incurred by other members of the British Royal Family.  Only the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh receive payments from Parliament that are not reimbursed by the Queen. Cape Gata (Greek: Κάβο Γάτα "cat cape", Turkish: "Doğan Burnu" "falcon cape") is the south-eastern cape of the Akrotiri Peninsula on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.  It is located within the British Sovereign Base Areas, and is the southernmost point of the island.
