No just a very devotional Mass.<br />I'm very pleased I went and all the feed back I have had from other parishioners is similarly positive.<br /><br />Looking forward to the Te deum after Mass tomorrow.leutgebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566408268292424147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-10909259552259164702010-09-24T08:57:15.430+01:002010-09-24T08:57:15.430+01:00For the Holy Father's speeches etc see here ht...For the Holy Father's speeches etc see here http://www.thepapalvisit.org.uk/speeches<br /><br />@Justin: What Patrick espouses is the true Roman Catholic appreciation of the Papal Office before the triumph of the ultramontane movement at VCI, where Pio Nonno had raised himself up to just less than God. I was suprised at the number of frankly blasphemous comments being made by "fans" of the Pope that I suspect, would have made the poor man very uncomfortable. [If liberalism wasn't so rife in the Church I'd half expect Benedict to re-interpret "Pastor Aeternus" to a more theologically nuanced and sounder position Scripturally in accordance with Tradition - but I don't blame him for not giving the liberals any further excuse to run a muck.]Canon Jerome Lloyd OSJVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764146635659770019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-28116029207650302102010-09-22T17:23:54.365+01:002010-09-22T17:23:54.365+01:00Hmmm...

Two mutual friends of ours have mentioned you in passing in conversation with me recently, both independently of each other, and now I just happen across your blog less than a fortnight later. I take it as a sign that I ought to say hello so, well, hello. :-)Bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989307876421460920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-78275590921201316892010-09-22T01:32:51.550+01:002010-09-22T01:32:51.550+01:00Ultramontanism rules!

He looked at <i>me!</i> I'll never wash again, etc, etc..."<br /><br />To be fair to Benedict, I suspect he genuinely detests having to jump through these ridiculous hoops; he's certainly on record as having grave reservations about the appropriateness of rock-venue, stadium Masses. It's not new, though - have a look at some old footage or photos of Eucharistic Congresses pre-war - all theatrical floats and pasteboard pageantry.Anagnostishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706938507885553293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-20053620081761549372010-09-21T19:39:37.835+01:002010-09-21T19:39:37.835+01:00What is up with the candles in the window boxes fl...What is up with the candles in the window boxes flanking the "altar."
