| | Traditionalists will be able to celebrate mass in Chesham BoisOn 18 November, the Bishop of Northampton, Peter Doyle, will administer Confirmation in the Traditional Rite at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Chesham Bois, Bucks. And he will personally celebrate the old Latin Mass as a regular Sunday service - the first diocesan bishop to do so for many years.What a contrast to all those other bishops (the names +Arthur, +Crispian and +Kieran come to mind) whose response to the Pope's radical reforms has been churlish nit-picking.But for once I haven't got time to elaborate on this theme. I'm being called away by gossipy monsignori anxious to fill me in on the conservative revival in the Vatican - and the dreadful fate awaiting trendy bishops who think they can behave like popes in their own dioceses. I can't wait!Oh, the blessed relief. Today someone turned down the volume of self-righteous feminist sermonising on Twitter and the network enjoyed a brief interlude of (relative) civility. Caitlin Moran, she who once , has decided to take a stand against Twitter abuse - by shutting up for a whole day and encouraging her admirers to do likewise. Now, I'm as disgusted as anyone else by trolls who threaten women online, but I rather doubt that the very tiny minority?of Twitter users who do so will be shamed into silence by this attention-seeking stunt, called #twittersilence. |
