Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor said changes are in store for his Westminster Diocese and that in addition to the recruitment campaign, he plans to tells his churchgoers that the sharp decline in priests will result in some parishes coping without a resident priest and laypeople given more responsibilities, the BBC reported Sunday. Advertisement If the changes are well received in Westminster, the seat of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, similar changes will be made in other British parishes, according to the cardinal. The number of priests at Westminster has fallen from 850 in 1990 to 600 this year and is expected to decline to 470 in the next 10 years.
