Shaun Bailham, a young student of Theology and Religious Studies at St Mary's, University College, Twickenham has recently started a blog called Catholic with Attitude. I am always interested to hear about St Mary's since it was the college my father attended after being de-mobbed in 1948. In those days, it was a teacher training college. In recent years, it has developed greatly and was recently given the power to award its own taught degrees and is looking forward to gaining full university status. It is a while since I visited and I hope to have the chance to make a trip there before too long.

Dear Father,
Please excuse my ignorance. Is St Mary's, University College a Catholic College? If so, would it become England's only Catholic University after it is awarded full status, or are there others?

What does 'de-mobbed' mean, Father?
Oh, Father Tim, it is a great place to be - and the bioethics MA course is superb - - spread the word!
Dom - yes it is Catholic and would be the first Catholic University.
Paul - de-mobbed = demobilised: released from military service. My father was part of a tank crew during the allied landings at Normandy and ensuing battles. He was then in Belgium during the immediate post-war period.
Hi
I am studying a theology degree through Maryvale in Birmigham. It is a wonderful institution and I hope it continues to grow.
