In the Hispanic culture, people are named with this formula (First Name)(Father's Last Name)(Mother's Maiden Name). Their custom is not the same as the English custom, but many people do not know that. If you do not wish to call him Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos as they did in the article, then the proper way refer to him is Cardinal Castrillon because his father's name takes precedence over his mother's. It would be most respectful of the Cardinal if you would change your headline. I know it is common for traditional Catholics to call him Cardinal Hoyos, but that is actually incorrect.
