Two more future monsignori in the RCC?
ReplyDeleteBaker may have realised that his chances in the Ordinariate were slim given his unwillingness to renounce Freemasonry.
ReplyDeleteLucius, Father Jonathan is a very fine priest and an accomplished theologian. I know him to be a man of the highest integrity and if you ask Bishops Broadhurst, Newton and Burnham, together with Dr Geoffrey Kirk, Fr Hunwicke, Bishop Kallistos and Fr Aidan Nichols they will offer their witness to this truth.
ReplyDeleteUnity - and the friendship between Catholics remaining in the Church of England and those who have entered the Ordinariate - is best served by charity.
