Back in June, I wrote about the establishing of St Bede's Hall at Oxford. St Bede's is an independent Catholic college which provides courses for "Study Abroad" and mature students. Today, St Bede's are delighted to announce that Cardinal Pell has become a patron of St Bede's Hall. His Eminence said:"I would be honoured to serve as an honorary patron of St. Bede's Hall... I would be delighted to assist in any way that I can and look forward to visiting St. Bede's Hall when next I am in Oxford."St Bede's already has a bi-lateral agreement with Campion College in New South Wales: today's announcement helps to further ties with Australia. The first student from Australia has arrived at St Bede's and has begun her courses with the tutors of the new academic community.

Glorious! Long live our Cardinal, long may he reign!

Either His Eminence is inordinately tall or the clergy are generally very short. Kangaroo meat versus seminary starvation?
Cardinal Pell a great man.The Roman Catholic Church in Australia will always be in safe hands when his Eminence is leading it.Traditional & orthodox,loyal to the Holy Father,and who accepts no liberal dissidents in the church.Great to see.
Andrew;
knowing the heights of some of the other clergy in the photo, who are not that short, I think we may take it that HE is very tall !
