Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

An Orwellian vision of the Church


Rorate Caeli has another trenchant article about Traditionis Custodes and what it signifies. It is by Fr Michael Fiedrowicz, an scknowledged German expert on the liturgy who is a Professor at the University of Trier.

The article, which I urge my readers to look at and to read, can be found at Dr. Michael Fiedrowicz on Traditionis Custodes: “Frighteningly reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984”
