all Catholic issues from a traditional perspective. All visitors and commentators are welcome but please remember, this blog is a traditional Catholic one and takes no prisoners.I wholeheartedly support Rev James (who is not a person but a rather fine Welsh bitter ale). Not Welsh but living in 'Little England beyond Wales' Vincit pericula Virtus They think that death is waiting at the end of the ride, that life is like the lane and that death waits at the end. Listen. That is death on the other side of the side of the hedgerow. And that swift shadow that is gone, before you turn, from the corner of your eye -- that is death. And the whisper you scarcely hear through the sounds of the birds calling and the wind in the leaves -- that is death. Not waiting, but there beside you within reach, within earshot, so close that if you should look you would see your breath cloud on his presence. There he is, just out of sight behind the wild rose and the blackthorn, not behind you, nor before you, but beside you... Alice Thomas Ellis Amo, amas, the Latin Mass! Cardinal Mindszenty - a modern martyr "A mother is the most important person on earth. She cannot claim the honour of building Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral - A dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body." St Therese de Lisieux Ora
