Christus Surrexit, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Surrexit in vere, alleluia, alleluia!

Nine adult (dare I say it, very adult) receptions at the Easter Vigil. Not bad going for little Lanchester. Entirely typical of this parish at Easter, though.

Three quarters of this country's cradle Catholics are lapsed. 80 per cent of the rest are in favour of assisted suicide and of same-sex "marriage". But hope springs eternal.

  1. What has gone wrong for this to happen David? Why have so many people abandoned the faith? Do you think that it may have something to do with the loss of the old Latin Mass? Perhaps you David, or even your correspondent 'Miner's Boy', might be willing to enlighten me.

  2. As I said, hope springs eternal.

    There are more ordinations in England now than there were in the 1950s.

    The Church is changing, and "to live is to change".

  3. I don't doubt that the Holy Roman Catholic Church will survive. I am wondering why so many have left.

    What happened David? You are normally very keen to offer us your view.
