It is sad to hear of the death of Marygold Turner. She was an indefatigable promoter of Catholic truth, and of the TLM. Requiescat in pace.

I possess at all times and carry in every place both the God of my heart and the heart of my God (Saint Margaret Mary)

Je possède en tout temps et je porte en tout lieu, et le Dieu de mon cœur, et le cœur de mon Dieu (Saint Margaret Mary)

Sorry! The video I posted was of the wrong venue. Here is one from the Sagrada Família

From the Holy Father's homily:

It is a joy to fine my X lists this morning filled with footage of the celebrations at the Sagrada Família in Barcelona.

The footnote is: 187. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. The Return of the King, Part III, Book Five, Chapter IX, New York 1965, 190.

I was delighted to find that Pope Leo quoted Tolkien in his “Magnifica Humanitas” (n.2013:)

“Torches Against the Abyss” is a collection of short pieces by Rev John A Perricone. Over 600 pages of high-quality articles. Most enjoyable. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FPSX2XP3

You think that’s a joke? Lewisham says ... ... HOLD MY BEER!

The manner in which, early in this book, Pearce deals with the bien-pensant critics of Tolkien is devastating.

I have come to regard Joseph Pearce with increasing admiration for his insight and his balanced presentation of controversial subjects. His “Tolkien: Man and Myth” is masterful. amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TVF8NY5

@pattif21 @Starbucks Me too.

I've been boycotting @Starbucks for years

St Robert Bellarmine has a place of honour in my oratory. He is giving Holy Communion to victims of the plague. (On the tongue.)

Please keep in your prayers a very good Dutch Bishop, +Rob Mutsaerts, who was injured in a serious car accident while returning from hearing confessions. May Our Lady of Fatima, whose feast we celebrate tomorrow, intercede for him and bring swift healing. 🙏 infovaticana.com/en/2026/05/11/…

A thorough biography of the great apostle, Fr Fessio, has been provided by his Jesuit colleague. Warmly recommended! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMJFJ1NS

Many thanks to Father Halsall for “A Light from the Shadows”, a book on Tolkien's spiritual heart. An enjoyable and informative read. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GX2YDZFV
