"Archbishop Nichols, what were you thinking?"

Damian Thompson, "Archbishop Vincent Nichols 'offered flowers at the altar of Hindu deities'" (Telegraph.co.uk, November 24, 2009), writes: "Archbishop Nichols, what were you thinking? Your own press office has reported that you offered flowers at the altar of Hindu deities during a visit to a temple. (UPDATE: since this post went up, the relevant sentence has been removed from the Westminster diocesan website.)"
