Ecclesiastical bibs, bobs and larfs

• Two on one theme: Damian Thompson’s Build your own Rowan Williams speech and Fish Eaters’ John Paul II speech generator (santo subitism is, like, so three years ago anyway). Can’t say I’m not even-handed.
• The old liberals could always form a Society of Pope Paul VI. (I know ‘old liberal’ is redundant.) But the real Pope Paul retained the true faith on contraception.
• SSPX, RCWP. Neocon RCs like to say they’re the same. Fr Z ventures to have a discussion on this. My pennorth. (Sorry, indies: if you have a real church you have my respect but not my membership.)
• Per Christum on the inordinate and biased news coverage given the latter: kind of like saying ‘man appointed ambassador to Britain by local plumber’.
