If you don't...
...know much about Walsingham (see my earlier post about the special Mass at Westminster) , and want to know more, you'll find a bit here...
That link doesn't worjk for me - but I see that it's EWTN, so it's just worth pointing out that EWTN has recently given slightly misleading information about the Slipper Chapel and the restoration of the Catholic shrine there On that occasion, they dated the restoration from the date when its owner became Catholic. In fact, the Diocese of Northampton, its owner after she died, refused to allow worship there, even when Anglican pilgrims offered funding for repair and restoration - so the restoration as a Catholic shrine should really be dated from when Catholic worship was allowed there, some years after Anglicans had been assembling outside it, to begin their walk to the Anglican shrine
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.
