There will be a High Mass in the older form of the Roman Rite at Winchester Cathedral on Saturday 21 June, at 11am.Some of the Anglican members of the Choir at Winchester Cathedral are particularly interested in the liturgy and they wanted to have a Mass in thanksgiving for the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. One is an acquaintance of the people who organise Masses for the Latin Mass Society in Canterbury Cathedral.
The Dean and Chapter were all in favour and agreed. So the Cathedral Choir will be singing a Polyphonic Mass with Gregorian Chant. (The approval of Bishop Hollis was sought and granted for Mass to be celebrated in this Anglican cathedral.)
Andrew Leigh, one of the Catholic masters at Winchester College - founded by former Bishop of Winchester, William of Wykeham, and opened in 1394 - will give a tour of the College in the afternoon.

What will they use as an altar in such a place?
There is also a Latin Mass at Gloucester Cathedral for the spring meeting of the Association for Latin Liturgy. in the afternoon there will be Dupre's Vespers sung liturgically. there will be a talk by Dom Aidan Bellanger, Abbot of Downside. Mary Berry was a keen supporter of ALL.

The point was made at Fr.Z.'s blog that there might be an issue with inter-communion. Do you think that the Anglicans present would respect the Church's rules about them receiving Communion?
I very much doubt there would be any problem in this regard. Most Anglicans, especially those of a High Church mentality, have respect for our law regarding Holy Communion. It tends to be liberal anglicans (often encouraged by liberal Catholic priests) who practise "intercommunion".
The Princess Royal's son married and still kept his place in line of succession.
His bride renounced her Catholic religion and joined the church of England.
Another example of the British form of Sharia.

The Princess Royal's new daughter in- law's former parish church in Canada,ironically was St. John Fisher.
There is some consolation knowing Winchester was the Episcopal seat of Bishop Stephen Gardiner.

Does anyone know if this Mass will be recorded and put online for people to view? Otherwise, my only other option would be to fly across the Atlantic to attend!
