My mobile device came up trumps on Monday when I found that I could access the internet on the fly while in Rome. Looking as I often do at the Vatican News Service, I was delighted to see that Mgr Peter Elliott has been named as an auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne.I met Mgr Elliott when I was a student in Rome and he was living at the Casa del Clero in the Via della Scrofa. At that time he was studying for a doctorate on marriage and the family. His book "What God has Joined" is an excellent study of the Theology of Marriage in the light of Pope John Paul's teaching.

He does bear an uncanny (and unfortunate) resemblance to Fr Ted... or am I the only person to think so??
;-)
Who's Father Ted ? is he a good priest ?
Sorry Bernadette, it's the title character in a rather bad sitcom...
His recommendations in "Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite" that every parish have one sung Mass with incense on a Sunday and a procession on Easter Morning rather betrsy his Anglican roots. He is probably a voice crying in the wilderness, if the RC Church in England is anything to go by.
