I am clearly wasting my time again because you have decided, and you are right. I am just a young wipper snapper who has know experiance of parish life has never read a book or talked to old priest, including Hugh Atkinson who told me tales of the good old bad old days. The Rose of York You are a priest, highly trained, there is much that you know that I do not know, and you will have read many more books than I, on spirituality, theology, Church history, Canon Law and other Catholic matters. Did we both know the same Monsignor Atkinson? The one at Lincoln was definitely parish priest in the early fifties, died in the late eighties. So far as I am aware he went to Lincoln as a curate, never left, became parish priest, vicar General, and in his eighties his curate became parish priest, Monsignor becoming his assistant. Monsignor never mentioned being in the RAF chaplain, though he may have been chaplain to local bases. He was buried from St Hugh's, by Bishop McGuiness, were you one of the concelebrants? A bit off topic, but interesting.
