@ALucieSmith @holysmoke Fr Alexander, in addressing (arch)bishops, the law (Ut sive sollicite, 1969) and the custom in E&W (and in Scotland) have differed for a very long time.
English
@PaoloCapanni1 @holysmoke It is correct to refer to a bishop thus, and it was always the custom until very recently.

Why did the Pope choose bureaucrat Moth instead of dynamic Wilson to become Archbishop of Westminster? Lively discussion with Fr @ALucieSmith on latest Holy Smoke: spectator.com/podcast/why-di…
English
@holysmoke Wilson is ten years younger than Moth, and thus a potential successor to him at Westminster.
English
Wilson was the obvious choice for Westminster. Why wasn’t he chosen? Nobody thinks Moth is of the same calibre, although he may surprise us.

Archbishop John Wilson of the Diocese of Southwark in the United Kingdom, which has been witnessing many conversions to Catholicism, is himself a convert to the faith. Image: Southwark archdiocese

@holysmoke I’m no fan of Arthur, but that’s pretty harsh, Damian, even by your standards.

Roche’s only real commitment has been to his own career prospects. Under different popes he’d have been muttering the canon with a maniple swinging from his arm, or dressing up in his old skater’s sequins – whatever earns him brownie points (or, better still, brownies).
Scott Smith@hf_222222
The thing about Desiderio Desideravi, is it basically had a reform of the reform vibe, but there isn't really a constituency for that these days. Not even Roche himself is committed to it, so its left in limbo, & its unclear how it could ever take root.

@ALucieSmith A cracking read, as is its sequel, The Nymph of Syracuse. Highly recommended.

@BBCSportScot Impossible. Rangers have only been in existence since 2012, 13 years ago.
English
@BO3673 Why? Since the end of the Cold War the Tories have done far more damage to Defence than Labour.

To any “veteran” thinking of doing this: Don’t. Respect the day and what it’s for.
Inevitable West@Inevitablewest
🚨BREAKING: Its happening, veterans have decided they WILL turn their backs on Keir Starmer at the cenotaph on Sunday. This is huge. Brace yourselves.

@royalartillery1 @1stRegiment_RHA @ScottishGunners Good to see Lt Gen Sir Andrew Gregory, Master Gunner, St James’s Park, inspecting the parade.
English
Last month saw the Royal Artillery formally bring in two new weapons systems: ARCHER and TAIPAN. The event was marked by a Colours Parade at Larkhill, with @1stRegiment_RHA, @ScottishGunners and 5th Regt RA on parade as the receiving regiments.

Nine doctors have been elected as MPs in the 2024 UK general election.
Four doctors are now MPs in the new Labour government, led by the new prime minister, Keir Starmer, while five are among the Conservative MPs elected to the new parliament

@thebattleguide @ArmyChaplaincy The Reverend John Joseph McIlvaine, Army Chaplains’ Department, also died. He was a Catholic Priest from Glasgow cwgc.org/find-records/f…

Remembering local man Reverend Frank Harrison Edinger, Chaplain 4th. Class, Army Chaplains' Department. He died on 26 February 1918 in this sinking, aged 33. He is commemorated on the Hollybrook Memorial, Southampton. A road in town is named for him.
Revd Nicholas Pye@RevdPye
26 Feb 1917, British hospital ship Glenart Castle departed Newport, Wales, headed for Brest, France, to pick up wounded soldiers. Torpedoed by German U-Boat. Sunk in 8 mins. 32 people rescued, 162 died. An atrocious war crime. Worst ever maritime disaster in Bristol Channel. #WW1

@RetiredStaff @21_Med_Regt Almost certainly, as he graduated in medicine in 2020 gmc-uk.org/doctors/7750542
English
@21_Med_Regt Looking at his medals, can I assume that he served in Iraq and Afghanistan before Commissioning and probably before entering medical school?
BZ Sir!

Congratulations to Capt Dan Wall who has been awarded the General Practice Prize as part of the WCEC Military Awards ceremony in London. An outstanding effort from a first rate GDMO in 21 MMR. Well done.
English
@holysmoke Always better to judge someone by their words, rather than by their looks. And for Mark Francois, the former ain’t impressive.

@craigprescott That’s correct (I have mentioned the HoL Act 1999 several times).
But that’s not what we are disputing!
English
@PaoloCapanni1 However his Earldom of Wessex, Earldom of Forfar, and Viscountcy of Severn are all a hereditary peerages. We’re it not for the 1999 Act, he would be entitled to sit in the Lords with those title, as would (eg) the Duke of York, Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Kent.
English
1/ It’s been a surprisingly busy week for titles. Interestingly, it says the “title will be held by Prince Edward for His Royal Highness’s lifetime”. It’s a life Dukedom, and it won’t pass to his son Viscount Severn.
The Royal Family@RoyalFamily
🎉 Wishing the new Duke of Edinburgh a very Happy Birthday today! The King has conferred the Dukedom of Edinburgh upon his brother, Prince Edward, on his 59th birthday. 🔗royal.uk/dukedom-edinbu…
English
@craigprescott He does indeed, with his right to sit in the HoL untested.
English
@PaoloCapanni1 It’s further authority for the point that following the Wensleydale case, the only life peers that have been members of the House of Lords are barons who were granted their peerage under statute. DoE now has a, very novel, life dukedom.
English
@craigprescott Completely different type of peer from the DoE. Not a valid point.
English
@PaoloCapanni1 And for that matter, the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876, s 6 provided for that Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (“Law Lords”) were entitled to sit in the Lords for life.
English
@craigprescott Valid point, albeit from an era which had no real concept of a of a life peer / peerage for life.
DoE could test by applying for a Writ of Summons.
English
@PaoloCapanni1 I’m not. The Wensleydale peerages case from 1856 made clear that a life peerage granted under the prerogative did not entitle the holder to a seat in the Lords. This was why the Life Peerages Act was enacted in 1958.
