Fr Marcus Holden, co-author of Evangelium, was the preacher at the Rosary Crusade of Reparation last Saturday. John Smeaton SPUC Director has posted a couple of quotations from his sermon:"In the future times, I believe people in this land will hang their heads in shame at what we their ancestors have done in these times."Fr Holden described the government's Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill as:
"one of the darkest pieces of social legislation ever to come out of this land"The intention of this year's Rosary Crusade was the defeat of the HFE Bill.
I was sorry to miss the Rosary Crusade but I have to be careful about being away from the parish on Saturday. If I am actually to be here for Masses and Confessions, it means that by the time I get to London I have to come home again. I can sometimes get a supply priest to stand in but I don't feel it is right to do this too regularly.

Great to see a young and faithful priest taking a leading role in this matter. Bravo Father Holden!
And thanks to you Fr. Tim for all that you do in getting the news out so that those of us way up north can keep abreast of things and pray constructively. There's so much good going on in the south! Keep it up chaps!
And may the HFE Bill fall back into the very bowels of Hell from whence it came!

Dear me. Haven't you heard it is the latest fashion in your archdiocese to have a "Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion" run by "Eucharistic Ministers" on a Saturday morning, to enable priests to do more important things. Every Saturday. Without exception. Welcome to FutureChurch. (Proof is two clicks away on the web, but I suspect you know that).
