I’ve not been able to read a book for three years due to my heart issues. But I broke the spell yesterday with this from my beloved friend and mentor, Richard Holloway. Former Primus of Episcopal Church I strongly recommend it for anyone trying to make sense of this life and this world. Astonishing

Moustache and a mullet cut was niche for a Catholic priest even in the eighties. I thought I looked cool though 😬😬

Six months ago I never thought I’d be able to do this ever again. Heart surgery and cardiac rehabilitation is not a lifestyle choice I’d recommend, but it works. I’m far from sorted yet. But I feel much more hopeful now.

If you are all caught up in Cardinal fever (I am) I wonder if you’ll be interested in one fella’s (me) experience of encountering a Cardinal and consequently the highest Vatican officials? It’s not a misery read. But people tell me it’s been important to them.

If you are intrigued by the conclave and all that( I am) you may be interested in this book I wrote.
