In the 9th Century, all Christians who were canonical belonged to One, Holy, and Apostolic Church. The Orthodox Church is the foundation of Christendom - East, West, North, and South. The Pat of Rome eventually went rogue making claims that are unsupported by history. https://t.co/czOErCSKUU

The Forty Martyrs of England and Wales

Fifty years ago today Pope Saint Paul VI canonized the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. May they pray for the Church in Britain, that in all its undertaking it may be unswervingly faithful to Christ and the Church, and to the enduring legacy of their blood. pic.twitter.com/4gTa2MsJYj

@gavinashenden is totally correct when he says "the bureaucracy of the Church seemed to delight in the health and safety culture" well worth a listen to @holysmoke on https://t.co/VfTuajKVOx

St. Theodore of Canterbury

#SOTD St. Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury

I’ve been wanting to highlight another English Saint for some time now and St. Theodore is a great example. Learn about his life and chant his Troparion.

Holy Father Theodore, pray to God for us!

The English Catholic Martyrs

Today, the Church remembers the English martyrs, Roman Catholics executed during the Reformation.

The first to die was a Carthusian hermit, St John Houghton. His last words were reportedly “Good Jesu, what wilt Thou do with my heart?”. It inspired this painting by Zurbarán. pic.twitter.com/quWvdWVL34

St. Wilfred

Mark Bauerlein on the Novel Wolf Hall

First Things:

But here is what my Catholic tutor, an expert on St. Thomas More, says of Mantel: “She's dangerous! She just makes things up!” He can't believe that this fabricator of anti-More calumnies should enjoy so much success. Or rather, he believes it and understands it. As he confessed to me, Mantel is a brilliant re-creator of time and place and personages, and that counts for more than historical accuracy. After all, it's only a novel.
...
And then read commentaries in our own First Things pages: Patricia Snow's “The Devil and Hilary Mantel,” George Weigel's “‘Wolf Hall' and Up-Market anti-Catholicism,” and Mark Movsesian's “Thomas More, Villain.”

There is also the BBC adaptation from a few years ago.

What the bishop doesn't understand is that the political choices facing the UK and other Western countries boils down to the negation of the order of charity by neoliberals, globalists, and leftists, all in favor of the state.

Based on the excerpts, it would seem that his homily was too shallow and he shouldn't have even made the attempt. Truly sophomoric.
