Pellegrinaggio

Phil, as well as owning and running a hotel, has a blog called Pellegrinaggio. Crossing the Ponte Sisto which I have just added to the blogroll.

Something I found out from the blog today: Bishop Howard Tripp, Emeritus Auxiliary Bishop in Southwark, has the titular see of Newport in Wales. The first titluar Bishop of the see was ... The Rt Rev Fulton J Sheen.

I once heard a story that Bishop Fulton J. Sheen appended the words "in partibus infidelium" after his titular see. The good citizens of Newport were not amused. Unfortunately, the story is, I gather, apocryphal.
