NEW: I wrote about British churches installing heat pumps, in some cases in 1,000-year-old buildings! Decarbonisation may not be easy, but many view it as an act of faith.

Pope hosts Hollywood stars at Vatican, laments decline in movie-going
Pope Leo told a group of leading Hollywood actors and filmmakers at an audience in the Vatican on Saturday that cinemas were struggling to survive and that more should be done to protect them and preserve the shared experience of watching movies.

A postscript to pro-cathedral 🧵- up to late 1850s, the term cathedral is used (pic 1 - 1859 Ecclesiastical Map of Ireland). From late 1850s, the term ‘pro-cathedral’ is used for St Mary Moorfields in London & the Dublin building. Reflecting change since restoration of the hierarchy? Any thoughts?
