I saw the AoC speaking, but neither the Cardinal or Bishop of Brentwood. <br /><br />Did they speak or lead a prayer?

Sadder is that there has not been a stronger reaction from Catholics over the refusal of last rites. I fear too many, poorly catechised, don’t think it matters much. After all the Pope is always on about mercy , less so about the Church’s sacraments of mercy, which are , of course, in rather rigid form.vetusta ecclesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454059029260192711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-9205312515232911592021-10-19T19:02:56.386+01:002021-10-19T19:02:56.386+01:00On the unpleasant subject of political assasinatio...On the unpleasant subject of political assasination would you review the requiem Mass of President John F Kennedy which is available on YouTube? https://youtu.be/kPXSwoTcL0gBuckle13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09999071552839173898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-79138944830927786462021-10-19T17:02:06.090+01:002021-10-19T17:02:06.090+01:00There remains in Britain a strong element of Anti-...There remains in Britain a strong element of Anti-Catholic bigotry, that is often invisible, or at least very subtle, to those who do not know what to look for. From snide comments about Mrs. Fitzherbert (or Hanover!) posted at the National Gallery, to willful misstatements about Queen Mary I, so wrongly called "bloody," it is pervasive. It is usually veiled, but it is very real.<br /><armyartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621738173563972139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-46700620569773955332021-10-19T16:03:19.951+01:002021-10-19T16:03:19.951+01:00The gentleman could have hidden behind the Jebbie ...The gentleman could have hidden behind the Jebbie generate dodge- "I am personally opposed..."<br /><br />Who is responsible for the personally-opposed Catholic politician?<br /><br />* On September 27, 1960 at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington DC, Father Gustave Weigel S.J.
