Basil Hume tells Damian Byrne to tidy up Timothy Radcliffe

Readers may have missed this comment.

Your piece about Timothy Radcliffe is excellent.
When Damian Byrne was Master of the Order, on a visitation here in England he went to see Basil Hume in Archbishop's House in Westminster. Hume enquired of Damian: "is Timothy episcopal material” , "of course”, responded Damian and then the cardinal added: "but do please tidy him up a bit."
