Turbulent

Today is the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, never called "à Becket" in his own time.

This would have been the ideal opportunity to have announced that, since no one in this country had ever been known to have contracted Covid-19 at a church service, the churches would now be reopening as usual, and let the successors of Henry II do their worst.

Ora pro nobis.
