subhead: "'Immaculate misconception' jibe at Labour rally angers cardinal, bishops and Duke. Opposition leader expresses 'regret'"
The use of Marian imagery to ridicule the Prime Minister earned condemnation from many.
Finance Office has revisited the arrangement and on the basis of a change in Catholic population since 1976 the Diocese of East Anglia's contribution should be 13% instead of 7%.. But with two other Diocese now taking part the rate is 8.5% (i.e. the proportion of all 4 dioceses' populations).
Archbishop's OfficeMr Ralph Brown (V.G.) responding to Fr Roger Reader (Provincial Secretary). Discussion regarding the relationship of association with the Catholic Church. "It would not be appropriate for the Cardinal to give any form of external approval" but the stated objectives of the Society can be achieved without that. If the Society wishes to transact directly with the Holy See then a special request could be made.
