Dear friends,
We recently finished reading an excellent book, ‘The Pastoral Office’ by Henry Edward Cardinal Manning. This is the best book we have read on the doctrine of the Office of the Bishop and its relationship to the Office of Pope. It is well written and addresses the heresies circulating today extremely well. It is Our intention to comment on this book in more detail in coming weeks. However, We recommend anyone wishing to understand these important doctrines order the book and study it. In fact, it is now required reading in the seminary, and all of the seminarians have a copy to study from. Also We propose to discuss this in an egroup online, if you are interested in joining the discussion, send Us an email.

We would like to remind everyone that Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are Ember Days. This has the requirement of fasting and partial abstinence. Of course all Fridays are days of complete abstinence. Commencing this evening after dinner, We shall retire for several days of retreat and therefore will not be available on the internet. Please pray for us and for the soon restoration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
