Geoffrey Kirk

Early this Good Friday morning, Dr Geoffrey Kirk, priest, theologian, wit, satirist, blogger, bon viveur, slipped away into the Eternal Pasch. Tu, qui cuncta scis et vales, Qui nos pascis hic mortales: Tuos ibi commensales, Coheredes et sodales Fac sanctorum civium.

  1. Sad news indeed. Fr Kirk was, among other things, the scourge of cant and a doughty defender of the Truth. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

  12. Fr. Hunwicke -

    I am sorry for the loss of your good friend, and a great priest. May St. Michael defend his soul, and choirs of angels sing him to heaven, and bring him to see the face of his Savior, our King.
