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 from Cardinal Müller on the Synod


The other week I linked to an article on LifeSiteNews which quoted from an interview with Cardinal Gerhard Müller in which he commented forcefully on the impending session of the Synod on Synodality.

Today LifeSiteNews has another piece which quotes from an article written by the Cardinal and which was published last weekend. In it His Eminence is no less forthright  - indeed possibly more so - in his criticism of events and attitudes in Rome around the Synod. The article can be read at Cardinal Müller slams Vatican ‘penitential vigil’ confessing alleged sins against ‘synodality’ and ‘creation’
