Nordisk-Katolska Kyrkan has just published a very kind article on my coverage of the reception of the Order of Port Royal into the Nordic Catholic Church. I do not read Swedish, but Google gives me this translation which I tweak a little from the words I recognise as similar to English and German. I replied in English to thank our brethren in Sweden and to assure them of my prayers.

The Nordic Catholic Church’s first monastery in Germany apparently seems to be echoed in the ecclesiastical world.

Father Anthony Chadwick, a respected Anglican priest active in the Traditional Anglican Communion in northern France, reports regularly on the Nordic Catholic Church’s development in his widely read blog, “As the Sun in its Orb”.

Some time ago he wrote the posting: https://sarumuse.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/the-order-of-port-royal-and-st-severins-abbey/

Father Chadwick has previously written about the Nordic Catholic Church and the Union of Scranton in a positive way, for example here: https://sarumuse.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/the-union-of-scranton/

For all those interested in the liturgy, we recommend Father Chadwick’s highly readable treatise on the Tridentine Mass and its historical development. This thesis can be downloaded here: http://civitas-dei.eu/Mass_of_St_Pius_V.pdf.
