I went to college with a girl from Glasshoughton. Wonderful person but nothing came of it. I married a girl from Sheffield instead. Does that still make me an honorary Yorkshireman, Rose?
You're argumentative, strong willed, forthright, and friendly with it, so I appoint you an honorary Yorkshireman, qualified by association and experience.

This whole story gets curiouser and curiouser. Are we sure that Bishop Roche is in reality only one person? His apparent support for Summorum Pontificum on the ground in Batley does not square with his published comments on the matter. I suspect the whole Pontefract business is a classic example of lousy man-management, something which you would hope a pastor might be sort of good at.
As for his Vicar-General. Is he one person or two?


Fortunatus, your post got me thinking. I am certain Bishop Roche supports the provision of traditional liturgy. Vicars General are heavily involved when Diocesan reorganisation is ongoing. You may have hit on something. For all we know, the two may be pulling in opposite directions.

Catholic and proud of it!
Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
