About Me
- Joanna Bogle
- Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance. Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
God bless our new Pope Francis

I suppose you can call the brain washing of a woman, validly ordained by a Bishop in the Apostolic succession to renounce her ordination good news if you are an enemy of the liberation of women from male tyranny.
It's a sad day for her having to grovel to be taken back into a reactionary male dominated establishment.
It's time the RC Church 'got it' they are declining for their intransigence - change will come, but it will take men with a wider vision than the current leadership to institute it.
