April 29, 2024
Twice in the last twelve months friends have written to me warning me not to speak at particular conferences. They have advised me that I will be associated, toxically and perhaps beyond repair, with and by the “wrong kind of Catholic”.  They might be right. Guilt by association is now becoming a common currency of

Living in Christ is a call to love by word, deed and truth
April 29, 2024
What does it mean to live in Christ? That is a question the answer to which I found fulfilled in the readings of Sunday yesterday.

Papabili(ty): The cardinals who have seen their prospects in the next conclave harmed and improved by recent news events
April 28, 2024

April 28, 2024
When I am out early on Theatre Square in front of Ampleforth’s historic buildings, looking across the beautiful valley on the edge of the North York moors, it is the morning greetings of my pupils that keep me going.
