The Oxford Oratory...

...in this celebration year for Cardinal John Henry Newman, is running a whole series of summer events. Americans visiting Britain this summer should note the special "In(ter)dependence week" with a Mass at the Oratory featuring American composers on Sunday July 4th, and all sorts of other events with a USA flavour, including History Tours, a lecture on "An American remembers C.S.Lewis" with Walter Hooper, a gala dinner, and more....info on all of this here. Funds raised go to the Oratory's "reaffirmation and renewal" fund for work on the Oratory church, including a Newman shrine...

Interesting, don't you think that C.S.Lewis never became a Catholic! Of course, he was a High Church Anglican and is revered by evangelical Anglicans like myself.

Joan, on your Steak & Kidney pie EWTN programme, did I hear you say "pray TO the Pope". I heard it twice. Did I mishear twice? I hope so.

Pray TO the Pope? Uh? Of course not. How could we? he's a man, not God! And busy with the tasks given to him in Rome,and saying his prayers along with the rest of us.
