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.

Cardinal Müller speaking forcefully about the Synod


The Canadian based website LifeSiteNews reports on an interview given by Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former Prefect of the CDF, about the soon to resume Synod on Synodality. His Eminence is forceful and forthright in his comments, which make his position clear. The article can be seen at Cardinal Müller suggests ‘anti-Catholic forces’ pushing pro-abortion Agenda 2030 in the Synod

The Wikipedia article about the Cardinal gives a wide ranging selection of his robust views on ecclesial matters in the current climate of the Church. I doubt I am the only one to find them reassuring. The article can be seen at Gerhard Ludwig Müller
