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.

The Chairman of the Latin Mass Society on the rescript


The Chairman of the Latin Mass Society has written an excellent piece about the recent Papal rescript about the necessary dispensations required under the terms of Traditionis Custodes which, whilst not minimising the threat to celebrations of the Traditional Mass, does offer insight into how the legislation can be applied. It is therefore moderately hopeful about the continued availability of such celebrations whilst we await happier times.

His post can be seen at The Rescript: back to the Catacombs?
