What's been going on

I returned about a week ago from my holiday in Italy and it's been one of those busy seasons. A few days before I came back, my uncle Chris went to his reward after battling cancer for several years. R.I.P.

I intend to take a week's break or so from blogging, after which I shall resume my musings/ramblings and tell you about the more interesting points of the holiday.

In the meantime, a slightly belated happy birthday to my friend Oliver, who recently announced the closure of one blog, but appears to have started another. Happy birthday as well to our dear Mulier Fortis!

Ad multos annos!

Seen this?

Right now I'm fairly sure that the blogosphere has been buzzing with people looking at reports of yesterday's Pontifical High Mass at Westminster Cathedral, so I thought something a little different might be in order.

At the risk of displaying preferential treatment, Oliver has put up a little piece on allegiance to the Queen. If your latin is as bad as mine, then you may find it a tad difficult, but you shouldn't find the point too hard to understand.

In what I believe may be a first (possibly even a historic moments) Bishop Williamson has given an interview which is unusually free from outrageous and hilarious statements. Fr Z has given his customary reply with points. I can't help but feel that a radio or TV discussion between these two would be very interesting.

Finally, the Ceremoniere has a post many of us may identify with.

New site

I have been asked to advertise the St Conleth's Catholic Heritage association. According to a friend of mine who is often in Ireland, the Church there is in something of an odd state, so please spare a prayer for their efforts.

Moving along

Apologies for a long absence. The last month has been pretty busy with the last stage of my second year at university, which left little time for much more important things like blogging.

I am afraid that I show little signs of producing much more as I am currently on holiday in Italy with limited access to a computer. Nevertheless, I will keep you updated on anything interesting which I might do/see/otherwise.
