Underground Church
My attention has been drawn to a review of The Underground Church, a book the looks into Roman Catholic dissident movements. Religioscope is run by Dr Jean-François Mayer of Fribourg University and I usually find its articles balanced and non-polemical. … Continue reading

What’s in a Name?
One thing that has driven a good proportion of Anglicans, both of the Canterbury Communion and the continuers, into the arms of Rome is the general feeling of tiredness of what has become termed “alphabet soup”. This is certainly the … Continue reading
Analysis of the Independents
This subject has filled my mind for some days now, as it has for more than thirty years. To a young man, it represents a world of exotic fantasy for the curious mind, perhaps a little mocking humour like seeing … Continue reading
Sarabites?

Catholicism or Catholic Church?
No, this is not a polemical piece in regard to Rome, the ordinariates or anything else. It is simply to draw attention to one of the articles mentioned in a posting on Northern Catholicism I commented on yesterday. The article … Continue reading
New Article about Northern Catholicism
I have just had a “ping” from this excellent article – Northerness Respondi on Anglican Rose. As I have already mentioned, I have a great deal of esteem for Archbishop Peter Robinson, even though I am a tad more “pre-reformation” than … Continue reading
Esoteric Christianity
For many years, I have accepted that there is an esoteric or “gnostic” * element of Christianity. Like anything, esoterism can be taken to excesses and balance is lost. There have to be two opposing forces like a sailing boat … Continue reading
