August 2008, 11:41 I do wonder, in a country where we are not exactly flush for priests and bearing in mind what you have said about Roche, Rose, just who it was that decided Lawler was unfit to be a pastor. Certainly his congregation thought he was fine. My knowledge of Bishop Roche is limited to: His early Catholic formation, in a town where the parishes and schools had high standards of liturgy, regular Eucharistic adoration and Marian devotion, and commitment to preserve the church buildings. The Vicar General, who is the younger of the two, is from the same town, and probably went to the same secondary school. His family - I knew his parents, but cannot claim to have personally known Bishop Roche as a priest, let alone a bishop. The bishop was raised in a typical Catholic family, devoted to their Catholic faith and far from extremist. The local Catholic comprehensive school he attended had an excellent Catholic ethos. Conversations with old friends and family, and - last year - with the priest who has been appointed to co-ordinate the provision of Mass in the Extraordinary Form in the Diocese of Leeds. The last bishop was far from top of the hit parade, I have not heard one word of criticism of Bishop Roche. Judge from this photograph whether Bishop Roche is a liturgical modernist.
