He and Coelfrid enjoyed the meal and meeting Basil Hume.Mentions the Bishop's forthcoming operation; hopes the appeal will get a response in Beccles but spending nearly £6,000 on our own roof may work against it.

Decision to call a halt is sad and harsh, but, a projected cost of £1.3 million would require the full support of the Bishops in the Catholic community. Hope that the work done is not seen as in vain. Have asked the architect Mr Wingate to consult with Fr Birch on making fit the "Outside Altar" for say £300,000. Despite all this, the Cardinal begged that we must retain "what he loves at Walsingham: its simplicity".

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.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Reconciliation will not be completed on 6 September, but by the end of September. Asking the Cardinal to bless the chapel and return in the Spring for its official dedication. Some ten Bishops will attend the National Pilgrimage - a suitable occasion to announce the chapel's near completion.

Acknowledges receipt of the "aide mémoire" - clear and outlined the problem perfectly. Accepted the Cardinal's point to Canterbury regarding the differences between ourselves on the approach to Anglican Orders. Reconciliation of the respective churches first, then easy to make good any defect in present Anglican Orders.

Has just received a reply from Cardinal Knox to his letter dated 9 October 1979.
Discouraging - appreciate the Cardinal Hume's counsel. The inability to give General Absolution at time of pilgrimage is not a disaster - but the letter shows an addiction to strict and literal interpretation of the norms.
He has instructed his clergy that in real necessity they are authorised to administer GA (the kind of necessity the Congregation does not admit!) and inform him after the fact. But this has been rarely used and with no criticisms
Bishop Clark thinks that something has "leaked".

BCC [British Council of Churches) Working Party's work is independent of the Pope's visit. Its constitution [composition?] to be an Archbishop, diocesan Bishop and an Auxiliary. We are committed to exploring a way ahead with the BCC. WP needs to listen with integrity to measured arguments. Clark suggests himself as secretariat to the group of three - names he suggests are Archbishop Worlock, Bishop Lindsay, Bishop Henderson.
