Discussion document on the proposed Roman document on Mixed Marriages. Whereas such a marriage is stated as being "illicit"; this implies that they are "valid". The requirement to not place impediments in the way of the Catholic partner, may be seen as unreasonable since the non-Catholic partner's head of church makes no such request. All that has to be done is to attend confession, after the marriage in a non-catholic church, and then can access the sacraments like any other.
Has an ecumenical impact for [Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC)].

If one substitutes for "relationship" the word "communion" - then could have said: every Christian is in a real (though sometimes imperfect) communion with the Roman Catholic Church. One could say same thing not only about individual separated brethren but about their "churches or ecclesial communities". cf "The Theology of Vatican II' pp 124-134.

Vicar General, Mgr Ralph Brown, writing to Westminster priests [copied to Diocesan Bishops] warning of an individual who operates under the title The Ecumenical Lay Community of Labretines. This and its associates (The Labretine Oblates of St Benedict; St Benedict's Homeless Community Trust; The Labretine Homeless Trust Fund Ltd) does no have permission to claim the support of the Catholic Church nor the protection of the Archdiocese of Westminster.

Round robin to Bishops of England and Wales: grateful for another special collection for "Crisis in Africa". Explains what he saw when visiting Zimbabwe, Mozambique. Dire but not quite at the same level as Eritrea and Ethiopia in 1990 - but 11th hour. CAFOD's work across Southern and Eastern Africa supported by the money raised following the [Bishops'] Conference decision.

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.

Letter to John Patten, Secretary of State for Education. Raises concerns about aspects of the Education Bill, funding, intervention, etc.
Final Paragraph: "In this letter I have sought to place specific anxieties I have about some provisions in the current Education Bill in the broader context of the future of Catholic schools. The Anglican Church has similar misgivings about this legislation, and of course shares a similar vision of the Churches' mission in our society to witness to enduring human values. ... I am not seeking a protected or privileged place for Catholic schools. ... expected to meet same standards of educational attainment and efficiency as other schools."

Hume, George Basil Rev (1923-1999)
