Fr. Tim Holding the Line

alone. As usual.

While the Dhimmis inside Westminster Cathedral were singing along to the 99 Names of Allah...

At 7pm we began by singing the Credo and it was immediately apparent that the participants in this prayer vigil wished to proclaim their faith in the Triune God with enthusiasm. As a priest, I was happy to provide leadership for this group whilst being prepared to recognise that many came under their own initiative. Many people said that they were pleased that a priest came to lead the prayers. We sang, prayed the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Litany of the Holy Name, the Litany of Loreto, the Salve Regina and the Christus Vincit. At the end, I suggested that we might have enough energy to sing "Faith of our Fathers" and was proved correct in my supposition!

Thanks, your Eminence. I must say, though that my former teacher, Fr Michael Clifton was also there. He has worked in the vineyard from the first hour...

Thanks, Fr. Finigan.

As bad as things get over here in the Church in the States, I can't imagine the stony vineyard facing the faithful British Catholics.
