A possible sign of the times – Piero Marini?
Article in French – Piero Marini, préfet de la Congrégation du Culte divin ? Une rumeur improbable, mais significative * * * I occasionally look at “Vatican-watch” sites to get an idea of what is going on. We now read … Continue reading
Radical Orthodoxy Revisited
I am usually sensitive enough to pick up on the somewhat dated movement of some English academics called Radical Orthodoxy. As an Anglican movement attracted to ressourcement theology, neo-patristics and Platonism, it has seems exciting and appealing as a “third … Continue reading
Blogging Priests
Fr Stephen Smuts has reflected one of my closely-held convictions, that blogging can be a true Christian ministry. He linked to The Anglican Catholic in Priests on the Blogs. We find quotes of Pope Benedict XVI and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow … Continue reading
Extra-Mural Anglicans
I like Deborah Gyapong, and I have always found her to be a good person seeking the best for her family and for God. We had many uplifting conversations on Skype. But certain things get up my nose – Who … Continue reading

Reflections on Ressourcement Theology
I’m reposting something from my defunct English Catholic blog, which I see as particularly useful. Like the medieval Church when the fragmentation was as yet latent with the Lollards and the early Reformers, much of the problem was being caught … Continue reading
Anglican Comprehensiveness
This is a really difficult subject that has caused so much conflict between Anglicans and which causes people of other Churches to doubt our sincerity and attachment to the notion of objective truth. Comprehensiveness is essentially a political solution to … Continue reading
Anglican Catholic Clarity
I greatly appreciate what Archbishop Mark Haverland wrote a couple of years ago in The Trinitarian about the position of the ACC in relation to Anglicanorum coetibus. I bring up the subject, not as an attack against the Roman Catholic … Continue reading
