The Easter Sepulcre
The Easter Sepulcre Ceremony This valuable page needs to be seen. The Easter Sepulcre in the Sarum Use and other medieval rites is not the same thing as the Altar of Repose in the Roman rite. It is unclear in … Continue reading
Washing of the Altar on Maundy Thursday
In the Use of Sarum, after the stripping of the altar on Maundy Thursday, we wash the altars with wine and water. There is an old article on this subject by Shawn Tribe in The New Liturgical Movement, which I reproduce … Continue reading
Debunking Myths about Pope Francis
I have obviously been as dupe as anyone else. Debunking three ‘urban legends’ about Pope Francis seems credible. It seemed unbelievable that he would be so cruel to his predecessor as to say “the carnival is over” when he declined … Continue reading

Francis not breaking away from Benedict
This is interesting: Letter #56: Holding to Benedict by Robert Moynihan. But there is another form of poverty! It is the spiritual poverty of our time, which afflicts the so-called richer countries particularly seriously. It is what my much-loved predecessor, … Continue reading
Gooseneck
Another search term that came up was model ship mast and boom connection. I know little about making model ships, but on a yacht or a dinghy, the boom is connected to the mast by means of a gooseneck that … Continue reading
