The Rodez/Fonlupt affair and other important French connections including an astounding video on the life of St Therese of Lisieux

RODEZ AND THE FONLUPT AFFAIR
I continue to chase up news of any developments in this affair and will post anything I find ASAP.

PAIX LITURGIQUE WILL DEAL WITH THE UNIVERSAE ECCLESIAE INSTRUCTION IN ITS NEXT NEWS LETTER

THE BEST FRENCH ORTHODOX CATHOLIC BLOG This is recommended. It is  Le Blog de Christophe Saint-Placide 'Summorum Pontificum' The author has been in Rome at the recent Conference on Pope Benedict's Motu Proprio, and is just getting back to steam. Find him, towards the top of left sidebar here.

VIDEO ON ST THERESE OF LISIEUX 'THE STORY OF A SOUL' (Bonne Pioche TV in collaboration with kto tv)
This is an absolute tour de force one- woman performance. The actress plays the parts not only of St Therese herself, but also of her parents, The Pope, other nuns of the Lisieux Carmel and many others in her story. Even if you don't understand French it's power will reach you. It's 55 minutes long.

There is a direct link but it's six lines long. Better to give you the following directions
Google kto tv
Choose their 'Programmes' link
On this page in the left sidebar 'Dernieres Videos' click 'L'Histoire d'une Ame'

Alternatively the film will be repeated tonight on kto at 22.01 (UK time) Reach it by googling kto tv and clicking the 'Accueil' choice.

Also new in sidebar is a link to the site of the French Bishops Conference. I've had a brief look but have not yet found any reference to the Vatican Blogmeet, or to the UE instruction. Will look again this evening. Meanwhile if anyone finds anything that the French Bishops may have said about either of these things, I'd be grateful for comment.

The French Bishop's Conference site has at last mentioned the UE Instruction. Under 'Evenements'.

Have just watched the Ste Therese monologue - a tour de force indeed - what a memory. Quite beautiful. It can be watched any time by clicking onto the link given. Thanks Jane for mentioning it.

Jane - there is an interview with Mgr Le Gall - Archbishop of Toulouse on kto. (in the small squares at the moment) The UE is touched upon at 2.45. He will be ordaining the new bishop of Rodez in June.
