Talk:Basil Hume

message: Quote: "George Haliburton Hume was born in Newcastle upon Tyne to Sir William Errington and Marie Elizabeth (née Tisseyre) Hume."
Question: is this saying that his birth surname came from his mother rather than his father? If so, why?  It's far from normal in patrilineal societies for children's surnames to reflect their mothers' rather than their fathers'.  Or is "Sir William Errington" a shorthand way of saying "Sir William Errington Hume"?  Either way, it at least needs clarification, and possibly explanation.  --  JackofOz 07:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No worries. I've done a quick Google and discovered his father was Sir William Errington Hume .  I'll clarify the article accordingly.  --  JackofOz 07:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth name

message: Cardinal Hume was justly popular and came across as a reasonable and intelligent man. Certainly he was a very good advertisement for the Roman Catholic Church. He was also a member of "the establishment" and apparently saw one of his objectives as influencing "people who mattered". However, under his leadership, the number of Roman Catholics attending church declined markedly. In addition, the article scarcely touches on Cardinal Hume's theological views. The impression he gave was being relatively liberal. I'm quite sure he was anti-abortion, though I rarely heard him pontificate on this. Certainly I never heard him express views on birth control. It could be that I am wrong, but in its present state, the article does not address these points Millbanks (talk) 07:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Re Heading: "Early Life and ministry":
"He took the name "Basil" when he received the habit and was solemnly professed in 1945."
This cannot be correct. Clothing in the monastic habit precedes Simple Profession, which in turn precedes Solemn Profession. On the assumption that the year stated for his Solemn Profession is correct, and depending on certain other factors, he may have made his Simple Profession in 1942 and may have been clothed in the monastic habit and taken his religious name in 1941. But this needs to be verified.
