Brady ‘taken aback’ by his elevation

ARCHBISHOP Seán Brady said yesterday he was “humbled” after the Vatican announced he was to be made cardinal.

The Cavan-born Primate of All Ireland will be elevated at a ceremony with Pope Benedict XVI in Rome next month.

The 68-year-old Archbishop of Armagh will join Cardinal Cahal Daly and Cardinal Desmond Connell, giving Ireland three cardinals for the first time in history.
