Having read this whole thread, and the links, I have one thing to say:

Ecce sacerdos magnus - and shame on the Bishop and his VG.

Up until today, I had Roche down as a half decent bishop. I admit that I was wrong. [redit][/redit]
Careful about jumping to conclusions, Patrick. I am becoming more convinced that there is a bit of a power play at work here. We are getting conflicting signals from Leeds about the EF Mass. On the assumption that Uncle Arthur (!) is not senile or schizoid then either he is playing a very devious game — rules and aims unknown — or someone has him in a sort of administrative hammer-lock or he doesn't know what is being down in his name.
I'm now happy to wait and see how it plays out. Perhaps the annual round of clergy postings (do they do it that way in Leeds?) will tell us more. Whatever the outcome I fear for the Church in England if Roche were to end up at Westminster, certainly on the evidence of this episode.
