On a recent trip to Reading, I was gifted a silver-plated thurible by a Vicar. This morning, after much grumbling and elbow-grease, I have restored it to a former glory.
It is yet another loving addition to my small collection of ecclesiastical tat that I hope to grow!

I am once again reminding people: celibacy for priests in the Western Roman Catholic Church is a discipline not a doctrine.
Eastern Roman Catholic priests are free to marry; Ordinariate Priests are free to maintain their marriages when they are received from Anglicanism.
Bible: the husband of one wife
Rome: CELIBATE!!! NEVER MARRY!!!
1 Timothy 4:3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

Actually, monarchy and tradition are fantastic and to haemorrhage it would be an appalling choice.
It goes without saying this is farcical, wasteful and embarrassing - and it’s high time Britain’s democracy grew up.

I am aware of a not an inconsequential number of significant theologians who have moved from Oxon and Cantab simply because the US Unis would:
1. Pay more

3. Give them research assistants
4. More job security
