An unusually presented document - red and black ink typing; Greek or Romanian language annotations; several corrections using: correction fluid, manuscript amendments; small pieces of paper with the correction typed on it and stuck into place on the sheet. The heading is glued to the first sheet and is printed: "The Romanian Orthodox Church in London / St Dunstan's-in-the-West / Fleet Street EC4.
The letter is headed private, personal and confidential "(unless for Cardinal Hume afterwards)" and ends with a postscript: "P.S. Although confidential this may be later passed to any other competent authority, diocesan, parochial etc."
The author and his wife [Marina?] were in Walsingham and observed pilgrims being marshalled around the Slipper Chapel at Houghton [St Giles] with the aim of ensuring they do not go to Walsingham to see the other Shrine, Holy House or Well. The author's concern is that the Pope will be treated in the same manner and not come to know the entirety of Walsingham. He references a report he wrote in 1978 and which was published in 1980 for which he was rebuked by the Anglican Rev Mother Julian and the Orthodox Chaplain Fr Hieromonk David because it did not reflect the current reality of the relations between the Roman Latin and Orthodox. Rev James appeals to Bishop Butler to rout the "houghtonite" schism. He warns not to slight BVM (the Blessed Virgin Mary) mentioning 24 October 1612, the Russian "Troublous" Times and 1656 the intervention in Poland.

Commenting on the "heresy" to be found in a course advertised in the weekly new sheet from Our Lady and the English Martyrs in Cambridge. It was run by the Diocesan education Department.

Peterborough column reports on the complaint by Senior Catholic clergy regarding the words used by Mr. Kinnock during a speech at a Labour party rally.

Acknowledges the 1992 Ad Limina letter. Mentions an event "yesterday". Been ill for 3 weeks.

Cannot duck the new Joint Working Group's first plenary [re dates for Ad Limina].
Assures the Cardinal he has been consistently fit until the virus came along - spent a week in "Hope House" in Cambridge and apart from catarrh is back on form.

The Joint Working Group WCC/RCC plenary in Rome will have been concluded in time for the Ad Limina on 16 March.
A week just spent in West country and then going for a 2 week cruise round Britain.

Press release containing the statements made by Basil Hume & Archbishop Worlock in response to comments made by Dr George Carey [Archbishop of Canterbury] about the Catholic Church's teaching on birth control and environmental issues.

Confidential: Theological issue relating to partial communion with Catholic Church. Matter to be put to two Australian theologians.

Confidential: Marist Provincial confirmed that within the Constitution of the Congregation Marist priests cannot become Bishops - exceptionally a missionary diocese may be allowed.

In a letter to Cardinal Hume, Mr Kinnock said he regretted his remarks. Catholic Bishops had told him that his remarks at a Labour rally in Birmingham had deeply offended thousands of his own supporters.

Inviting "Your Eminence" [Cardinal Hume] to King's Lynn to celebrate the leasing of the Red Chapel to Bishop of Northampton [Grant]. to be the first Cardinal to set foot inside the chapel. Some history about the chapel. Service not finalised; request suggestions for ecumenical dignatories to be invited.

Personal: thanking the Cardinal for presiding over the debate. Concerned about the ability of colleagues to rise to the occasion and avoid the charge of "Fortress Catholicism", otherwise "we'll dwindle (yes, we)". Perhaps Bishop Clark's remarks were a spill over form the days of ARCIC in the 70s; but, need to those with imagination and initiative to pursue the aims and objectives of ARCIC and unity as a whole.
