At St Mary's, Chislehurst today for lunch, I was concerned to see a suspiciously large bowl of potatoes. Fr Briggs assures me that he obtained these at a good price from Sainsburys and that he intends to eat them rather than use them in the Liturgy. I am happy to take him at his word although I wonder whether I should send over some heavies in case a couple of potatoes attempt to muscle in on his traditional Mass this evening as Deacon and Subdeacon.Before leaving, I was able to play Father the first track of an excellent CD that was lent to me by Chris Strudley: André Isoir playing a collection entitled "L'orgue au Second Empire" (sample) featuring compositions by Lefebure-Wely, Donizetti and others. Very appropriate for the initial burial place of Napoleon III.

Ah, the Great Potato Plot Part II.
Father will know he is on to something if a Kollekten Jodler is seen in, say, Chislehurst.
Meanwhile, let everyone keep their eyes peeled (so to speak).

Not to distract attention from the risk of potato liturgies, but has Father read the important interview given by Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos to the Italian magazine "Jesus" ?
Fr. Z has recently posted (9 March 2008) on it.
It is an interesting read, to say the least.
Sorry.
I meant 9 May 2008.
I will make a note that only rice and pasta are to be served at Bootcamp.
Or maybe tortillas?
Napoleon III and I share our birthday with St Rose of Lima, Adolf Hitler and Mother Angelica.
PS Despite being an Irishman, I still haven't figured out what the 'potato-heads' were for in that 'Call to Action' 'liturgy' on the video you posted the other day. Maybe, like potatoes, I need the 'eyes' to see. And maybe the participants will come to 'Roo' the day.
Many thanks, Peter. I've picked up on that interview and the one with Mgr Marini.
