Ecclesiastical bibs and bobs

• Sunday Vespers in the Roman Rite parish church. An often overlooked part of bringing back the liturgical movement and simply pre-WWII Western Catholic life, one that friend of the blog Paul Goings has made a sort of speciality. Some, Derek for example, say praying the daily office is very Anglican — left over from the Benedictines whose diurnale I use — but Paul will point out that Marconi’s Tesla’s wireless, the cinema and television killed Sunday-night church for them too.
• On the crucifix. From Arturo.
• That alms might extinguish the flames of our sins.
• Patrimony: Fr Seán Finnegan asks what it is and Fr Anthony Chadwick on English eccentricity.
• A parish in Leicester considers the Pope’s offer. More.
• This past Monday, the feast of the Chair of St Peter at Antioch, was the day of prayer for RCs and Anglo-Catholics across England about the offer.
