Peace has come at the end of the Crimea War. Address signed by the Bishop Plymouth on behalf of the assembled Bishops. Endorsed by Bp Wareing to be read in churches and chapels in his diocese.
Wareing, William Rev (1791-1865)Peace has come at the end of the Crimea War. Address signed by the Bishop Plymouth on behalf of the assembled Bishops. Endorsed by Bp Wareing to be read in churches and chapels in his diocese.
Wareing, William Rev (1791-1865)Editorial begins: "The Labour party is revelling the new found confidence of an Opposition which is at last recovering from its third successive electoral defeat. The consequent euphoria, however, has led its leader to stray from the paths of accepted invective." It suggests that Mr Kinnock will not suffer the fate of Salman Rushdie but an apology is in order.
Eastern Daily PressSubhead: "Cheap and nasty mud-slinging"
Bishop of East Anglia wrote to Neil Kinnock complaining that he has abused Catholic beliefs in a speech at the Labour party's Red Rose rally in Birmingham.
Currently drawing up a "Re-alignment of Responsibilities" and hence considering where to place Fr Dobson. Not in a supply role but in a place of his own. Bishop says that he is also in good health as a 75 year-old but which also implies retirement.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Fr Baker has decided to challenge the current arrangements. He has opened a Tridentine mass centre in Bethel Street in Norwic, not far from the Cathedral. Appends an extract of the digest created by the Archbishop of Birmingham of the pope's speech regarding Archbishop Lefebvre and those who support him. The position needs to be made crystal clear. The priests are to read out the instruction - Fr Baker is deliberately flouting the authority of the Church, the Holy Father and his bishops; such people are putting themselves out of communion with the same; the pope draws his authority from Christ and hence requires obedience; no priest is to celebrate the Tridentine rite with a congregation, and, no one can join him without express permission.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Provided Fr Allen agrees, then he gives permission for a Tridentine Mass as last year. Same restrictions apply - Fr Paul Chavasse, officiating, is accepted.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Happy to accede to the request since they always fulfil the conditions the bishop sets. Need to ask the Director too.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Letter to diocesan priests. Outline of the issue and a description of the prayer process in the Cathedrals, churches and homes. Short timetable
Bishop's OfficeThanked Fr Hyland for an excellent day and for his good works in and around the Church - "and all your schemes have been blessed". Gives advice about making loans - do it through the Diocese to ensure a correct record is made - a letter from his colleague in Birmingham may be enough.

Bishop's OfficeLent Pastoral Letter.
Bishop's OfficeExplaining that the remuneration for a Bishop is not sufficent to cover all the outgoings deriving from his dutes within the District. Some may think he is welll off and this may have the effect of reducing the size of the collections.
Ullathorne, William Bernard Rev OSB (1806-1889)Situation report on the Central District - funding, churches/ missions/ parishes; situation of orphans; orders of religious; nnew cemetary on Birmingham; education and formation of priests; Council of Trent; cholera.
Ullathorne, William Bernard Rev OSB (1806-1889)Explanation of a desire for the Central District to be placed under the patronage of the BV Mary; includes his letter to Rome which referes to an audience with Pius IX on 30 July 1848 in which assent was given to the petition. Latin version of letter at annex. Goes on to reflect that perhaps England as Mary's Dowry could once more become a fact.
Ullathorne, William Bernard Rev OSB (1806-1889)Fr Maddison asks on the bishop's behalf for additional information before being able to proceed further. Requests a letter of support from the Superior.
Bishop's OfficeNovice Master at Manresa House [Jesuit house, Birmingham] suggested the approach regarding Cyril Banham training to become a secular priest in this Diocese.

Banham, Frederick EReady to take up an appointment immediately. His superior will write. Provides some personal details about his work ethic and beliefs and a need to eat organic food and take healthy activity.
