@contrathuc @BishopsThuc I don’t think that’s right. There’s a Fr Peter Morgan who celebrates an independent Latin Mass in the Plymouth area. I think it’s likely to be the same person.

@mattadore @williamofdallas @MLJHaynes @fsspna It’s called a Cope. A cape is a black gown used by clergy and religious outdoors to keep the rain off their cassock/habit.

@CanonRobinWard I heard there was quite a heated debate surrounding its introduction.

@jerryalderson @Captain_Deltic @philatrail Incorrect typeface for the journey plan.

Guys, I’ve now got an even better idea. As a brand perk, let’s deck out different GBR trains to the brand guidelines of Royal Warrant holders. I’ll go first.

I personally think Great British Railways should have been partnered with great British brands to be spared the aesthetic of Gen X New Labourites #greatbritishrailways

@char1iewatts The graffiti style signage was not an improvement. Anyhow, it can take over 10 minutes to cross over from there to BTM…. Who would risk it?

@Chrisb1276767B @char1iewatts Wrong way around. Railway station in the UK. Train Station is American.

@AnonSocials There is no forward slash available on the CIS. They all have to use backslashes

@cath_cov @RamsdenVerity @SSBullivant @chinmj First one I found on YouTube. Look what’s on the right of the communion table.

@cath_cov @RamsdenVerity @SSBullivant @chinmj I didn’t say they’re the norm. But they are common.

[Henry Balkwill @HenryBalkwill]

@RamsdenVerity @SSBullivant @chinmj @cath_cov Anglicans are Protestant and individual communion cups are common in many jurisdictions and parishes, including many in the UK, Ireland, and Australia.

[Henry Balkwill @HenryBalkwill]

@RamsdenVerity @SSBullivant @chinmj @cath_cov Stacks of individual communion glasses as is common for communion in Protestant churches.

@SSBullivant @chinmj @cath_cov St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney. https://t.co/11xlm6jEcG

[Henry Balkwill @HenryBalkwill]

@FrMatkin You’re trying to apply Anglican/Protestant customs to a Catholic Mass. In the Catholic Church, the priest or Eucharistic minister hands the chalice to the communicant.

@ozzzmund @SeamusNua The Alb is the baptismal robe we are all entitled to wear by virtue of our baptism. We just don’t though… because we’d look like members of the Celestial Church of Christ.

[Henry Balkwill @HenryBalkwill]

@barbourtwat Still no sense of mission though. Churches aren’t for the select few, they should be for everyone. Any church or cathedral with an admission fee is no longer a place of Christian mission and deserves to crumble.

@RexKram55112378 I have a BMW… I wasn’t aware that rule applied to me.
