The Regulation of Episcopal Conferences since Vatican II
Joe O Leary commented that “The whittling away of the theological status of episcopal conferences right through John Paul II’s pontificate has a kind of blueprint in Joseph Ratzinger’s 1982 book, Theologische Prinzipienlehre [Principles of Catholic Theology,1987]. It is dismal reading and unveils a full-length portrait of the conservative theologian that he had become.”

The Vatican’s Tahrir Square?
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. But, when I did, I immediately shared it with Cardinal O’Brien whom I had been pestering about the awfulness of the new liturgy. He immediately sent it to all the Scottish bishops but all to no avail.’

Seán.
That was very moving. ‘The mother giving him the elbow.’ ‘Best of all, the woman at the well.’ ‘Sidle up to him. My face against his shoulder.’ ‘Ne’er a word.’ ‘But will it work? Will it what?’ ‘Limitless love. All you need is a heart and a nudge.’ Seán. It was lovely to eavesdrop on your reflection. Yes. It did remind me of listening in to Andria Bocelli’s reflection on horseback. I cringe when people use the following words all the time: Awesome. Amazing. Stunning. But in your case, these all apply completely.
