| | The Religion Report - 13/09/01: Terror attacks on US; Christianity in crisis in the UK |
 | | And in Britain, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor has announced that Christianity is "almost vanquished". |
 | | Cormac Murphy-O'Connor: It does seem that our country in Britain today, that especially in England and Europe, Christianity as a sort of a background to people’s lives, and moral background and kind of to the government, the social fabric of the country, has now almost been vanquished. |
 | | Gordon Heald: I think people were astonished by what he said, because I don’t think it’s true, and I think other religions also said, ‘What’s the Cardinal saying?’ It’s a very pessimistic statement and the straight facts are, that about 25% of the population go to church once a month in the UK. |
