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.

More on restricting the Traditional Rite


Rotate Cæli has an excellent article about the newly codified restrictions on the Traditional Mass. It is a reprint of a piece by Stefano Chiappolone from La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana and which contrasts the pluralism hailed in talk about ‘Synodality’ with this example of the attempted imposition of a restrictive liturgical monoculture.
