66 years ago today, Bishop Willie Walsh was ordained in the Basilica of St John Lateran, the Cathedral Church of Rome. Today, on his anniversary, and two days after his passing, I went to the same to remember him. I was privileged to concelebrate the evening Mass.

It was a joy yesterday, as part of an ecumenical church leaders’ pilgrimage, from Norfolk and Waveney, to greet Pope Francis and give him a bowl carved by Brian Wooden from a yew tree from @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Yew is an ancient tree commonly found in English churchyards.

Another unhinged post from Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t want anyone in his administration who worked for or was endorsed by ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, ‘psycho’ Liz Cheney, and a few others.

So much for those who laughably claimed Trump has ‘matured’ or is a ‘changed man.’

On the 4th Sunday of Advent the Church remembers Mary, the Mother of the Lord.

Today's #CursedCarol takes the classic Winkworth translation of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen and gives it the Bette Midler treatment.
