There are many possible reasons, political and ideological.. But until they change their tune, I mean really change it, and put unity with Peter as their supreme goal, I'm afraid we will continue to flounder. I am sick at heart that our Pope continues to say one thing whilst the BCEW goes on saying something quite different. Liturgically they seem determined to oppose him. Why? I don't know. I am an English Roman Catholic, before I am an English catholic person.. I don't want to be critical of Archbishop Nichols, but he just doesn't command the same loyalty as that I bear toward our Holy Father Benedict.XVI. He could of course command that same loyalty.........
Enough for tonight. A bit depressed as you can no doubt tell. Sorry.

I agree totally Jane, it is depressing but it is also uplifting - because we are able to accept the challenges of being a Catholic in times of repression.
Thanks Richard. Of course you're right, and I think the next post at Vultus Christi, later today possibly, will help to channel the depression by turning it into spiritually constructive grief.
God bless
