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.

Vatican double-think and the Traditional Mass


The website Catholic Culture has a telling and pithy analysis by Phil Lawlor of the double-think - some might call it hypocrisy - of the current approach by the Vatican to the celebration of the Mass in its historic Traditional form. 

The article, which is well worth reading, can be seen at Understanding the Vatican crusade against traditionalism
