Proud to call Cardinal O'Brien a stand-up Christian Brother.

H.E. Keith Michael Patrick Card. O'BRIEN

I think that H.E. stands for His Eminence, but a Catholic Freeper would have to confirm that.

apparently he's a big liberal who was got his red hat by accident and was subsequently forced to make a profession of faith before actually becoming a cardinal.

on other forums people have said the source is distorting the Cardinal's speech to make him look orthodox

there were threads on OBrien when he got his red hat. maybe someone else can find them

You are correct. The proper form is: His Eminence (First name) (Middle name/s) Cardinal (Last name).
