Happy Summorum Pontificum Day!

Yes, in case you'd forgotten, it's two years since the Holy Father issued the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum liberating the Extraordinary Form/Tridentine Mass/Old Rite/Traditional Latin Mass/Gregorian Rite of Mass (how have we come up with so many titles for it over 40 years?), and the same Pope has decided to release his third encyclical letter on the same day. On another note, you may have found a rather interesting article about the arrival of Mass in Chinese, which whatever one's views on is still fascinating.

Hibernation over. Possibly...

Oops! The other week I rather imprudently mentioned that my degree was over. Not especially silly one would think, only my friend Oliver (formerly of McCarthyism UK-sadly no longer online) happened to be present, and said that now I had finished, there was no excuse to neglect my blog. Today I won't be really 'blogging' except to wish you all a Happy Feast of the Most Precious Blood
