Mass at the London Oratory, one of the few times in ahh...shall we say, recent history...(ahem) that a High Mass has been celebrated there.

Elevation...

Adventures in Albion
Weep, weep O Walsingam, Whose dayes are nightes,
Blessings turned to blasphemies, Holy deedes to dispites.
Sinne is where our Ladye sate, Heaven turned is to helle;
Sathan sitte where our Lord did swaye,
Walsingam, oh, farewell!

Hilary, love the English pictures. Reminds me of the pictures a friend once showed me of Canada. All about how traditional and unrevolutionary it was compared to the U.S. As a friend of _yours_ said to me just recently (about whom?): "there is no rest for the restless."
Got itchy feet. Can't stop to talk...
What I suspect about Ye Merrie Oldie is that there is no neo-Cath movement. There seem only to be "liberals" and "trads". It seems that the liberals (apostates) run the joint and the Trads, because of the 1971 indult, take the place that the neo's hold in USA. The neo-Cath thing exists only because there was a neo-con movement which Britain never had. No Buckley's and no Neuhaus/Weigels. So, in a manner of speaking, I expect it to be both worse (more liberalism in charge of everything without even the slight concessions to the faith won by the neo's) and better, in that one does not have the problem of fighting both the liberal heretics on one side and the Americanist heretics on the other. Clearer us agin them sort of thing.
I like things clear.
