Well that's a relief. No nasty settings intervened to prevent me from getting online at the T-Mobile wifi hotspot in the departure lounge at Gatwick airport. Now I know it works, I'll be looking for wifi places in Lourdes. Jolly useful stuff.
Glad to say that I have also found exactly what I was looking for by way of a camcorder. It is very small and only records to an SD card, and will take still photos. It is splashproof so it shouldn't get damamged when I choke on my coffee if I need to video some diocesan group deciding to have Hindu dances at Holy Communion or invoke the name of Allah instead of the Kyrie. YouTube here we come!

Thankfully it looks as though you can communicate with us..i was already getting withdrawal symptoms!
Well, I may never make it to Lourdes, but at least I can make a virtual pilgrimage via Fr. Tim's new camcorder. Leave out the Hindu dancing at Communion. That might not be very spiritually fruitful.
Safe journey Father and pray for England and the clergy.
If you see a group of Americans - five priests and about 40 people - say hello and see if they are from Burlington, Vermont - our Vicar General is leading a pilgrimage.
Perhaps the UK bishops will leave their mitres in the closet and take to wearing the fez instead?
It's not scandalous, it's ecumenical!
Unleash the power of Youtube, Father!
Have a great and prayerful pilgrimage and may the prayers of the Blessed Virgin sustain you.
The first and only time I have prayed to Allah was at a Mass (Yes, but wait!) in Malta. The particular geography and therefore history of the Maltese people has left them a unique heritage, and the title 'Allah' is still used by orthodox Catholics. Later that morning, I toured the bay with my French group, surveying the fortifications built to stave off Muslim attacks, and then returned to my hotel to see horrific events in New York being relayed on the television. Yes, it was September 11th, 2001.
