Members sometimes complain about things happening in church of which they do not approve and give the impression they are peculiar to recent years. The Tablet website last Friday is more comprehensive than usual. Among the items is a reprint of a Reader's Letter published a hundred years ago. It complains that he was tapped on the shoulder during a solemn part of The Mass and asked if he had paid for his seat. In the late 1940s, after my demob, I visited a friend in the Greater Manchester area; when we entered the church there was a row of tables and a man standing behind each one keeping an eye on the money and, if need be, give change. Only the turnstiles were missing. (Moderators have my permission to move this item) |
