Alternatively, those of a more 'liberal' nature do not need to blog as they hold power within contemporary British Catholicism and can therefore spend their time doing something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-17464515540685658142007-06-22T08:42:00.000+01:002007-06-22T08:42:00.000+01:00cjDoes having a love for traditional (and obedient...cj<BR/><BR/>Does having a love for traditional (and obedient) liturgy ipso facto preclude us from being concerned with peace and justice?<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the Latin; it's often so much more concise than English!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-77389629658142223262007-06-21T09:17:00.000+01:002007-06-21T09:17:00.000+01:00"I suspect the prelates are reading..."I hope they..."I suspect the prelates are reading..."<BR/><BR/>I hope they are.

Or even have the word 'catholic' in their blog names in case anyone should think them 'unable to think for themselves' - a frequent charge brought against orthodox catholics.

I can't find one! For example, the only blog I've found that mentions media darling Lavinia Byrne, is the Hermeneutic of Continuity! Also, the only blog to mention a publication of Fr Tim Radcliffe's is an Anglican one.<BR/><BR/>We do live in interesting times.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120333351409730480noreply@blogger.com
