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 Cardinal of Utrecht celebrates a Traditional High Mass


Life Site News has a report about the High Mass according to the 1962 edition celebrated by Cardinal Eijk of Utrecht this past weekend. This was the first time His Eminence had publicly celebrated the Traditional Rite. 

It was also the first time such a celebration was performed by a Cardinal Archbishop in the Netherlands since 1969. This seems to be a further indication from senior figures in the Sacred College and elsewhere in the Church of support for the Traditional Rite which we have seen in recent months.
