Father Michael Clifton RIP

It is with great sadness that on Thursday 23rd February - the former archivist to Southwark diocese - Fr Michael Clifton - died - peacefully at Holy Cross Priory, East Sussex.

A good friend of mine informed me that he was with 2 priests at the time.

He was 81.

I had the priviledge of providing an article for Catholic Life - when I interviewed Father - it was in the last ever issue of the publication. He told me a very interesting thing - he said if Pope Francis allows Holy Communion to people in 2nd unions without annulments, it would make the Pope a heretic!

He was a great fount of knowledge on many topics - including the priest hidey hole at Scotney Castle - Lamberhurst. He had a superb knowledge about trains and train lines. But he had a great love for the  Old Latin Mass - his sermons were doctrinally spot on - not too long or short - but sermons even my 10 year old "got".

May he Rest in Peace.

Romans in revolt against the Pope?

This poster has appeared all over Rome overnight.

Look at veteran Mark Lambert's blog.

We live in unprecedented times - never - to my knowledge at least, has anything like this happened in the history of the Catholic Church. I mean - the Borgia popes were a disgrace, but I don't believe they had to endure posters like this. It seems - that the Romans are in open revolt against this papacy.

Interesting times.
