here to get some good insights into all sorts of events over these past days in Rome...
A particular pleasure: at a magnificent dinner given in honour of Lech Walesa, I was at one end of the long candlelit table, and Jamie was almost at the other end...as we were all being seated and everyone was milling about and chatting, EWTN's Joan Lewis came hurrying up: "I've just discovered that the delightful man sitting next to me is your Jamie! We're so glad to meet up at last!" I've stayed with Joan in Rome, worked on projects with her, had meetings in London - and always of course talked about J. but they've never managed to meet until this wonderful time in Rome...
And somehow, all of these past special days have been like that. We have been spending time with longstanding Australian friends...Jamie relishing long chats over cigars on a cool terrace late into the night...and with Ordinariate friends (among much else, visiting together the church of St George, Bl John Henry Newman's titular church in Rome)...and we prayed with the Emmanuelle Community, which we last met in Paray-le-Monial back in the 1990s...

Interesting but I think you will find that it is the Emmanuel Community. Not to be confused with a character in a series of risque French films!
