Paddy Ferry alerts us to the fact that the funeral Mass of Fr. Kevin Kelly, the English theologian, is taking place in Formby tomorrow, Oct. 9th, at noon. He died on Sept. 25th aged 81.
Paddy says ‘During the controversy leading up to the imposition of the then new liturgy, he wrote to the English bishops expressing his disquiet. I now share the piece once again below, “The Vatican’s Tahrir Square?”. I am now not quite sure where I first came across this –perhaps even on this site.

He immediately sent it to all the Scottish bishops but all to no avail.’

Having recently read Brendan’s excellent book, “Holding out for a Hero” and his description of the despair when it became obvious that the very conservative, autocratic John Paul II was intent on abandoning the ideals of Vatican II and returning our church to the nineteenth century, one of the former priests on last nights program “The Last Priests” summed it up so well when he said that with Wojtyla in Rome we were on a train in reverse gear heading back into the last century.
