A number of years ago the FSSP were offered Hartlepool but that was unsustainable. Perhaps one of the priests presently celebrating the EF might be sent south. Some priest might even volunteer!!!David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397542227969375169.post-90839472056429751662019-07-22T14:51:05.710+01:002019-07-22T14:51:05.710+01:00David, I think a greater priority than Newcastle w...David, I think a greater priority than Newcastle would be to provide a Sunday EF Mass for those who live in the south of the diocese. Areas like Hartlepool, Darlington and Sunderland have no opportunity to attend. Apart from yourself, I`ve not heard of anyone asking for another Sunday Mass on Tyneside.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397542227969375169.post-19859987544761010912019-07-15T16:03:05.474+01:002019-07-15T16:03:05.474+01:00Hi Fr Gary.

Whilst, naturally, he needs time to settle in it seems that he has taken note of the closed nature of St Michael's in Elswick & the impending disappearance of the Dominicans. Both churches have large living accommodation which could suit the ICKSP & FSSP & he is aware of the wish of Catholics to have an EF Mass presence in the city. I rather gather that the LMS also feels the need to have a presence in the city & have been in touch with me. It seems sad that a city such as Newcastle does not have an EF Mass when, during Jack Harvey's time, we had both Newcastle & Gateshead.<br />Sad that you weren't able to attend Andrew's Missa Cantata at Thornley but we hope & pray that your health may improve soon. God Bless.David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397542227969375169.post-66005135640827530622019-07-14T13:53:02.891+01:002019-07-14T13:53:02.891+01:00Despite the fact that our new Bishop likes the EF,...Despite the fact that our new Bishop likes the EF, I doubt he can have much influence over the clergy who have been formed to think and reflect in a Modernist way, under the impression that it is simply a developing of genuine Catholicism. We have a long, long way to go before genuine Catholicism is tolerated, never mind values. It is a very said state we are in since the early 1900's when Pope St Pius X first tackled Modernism head-on. The Holy Ghost is certainly planting seeds, but they have to grow along with the tares for some while yet i suspect, since the College of cardinals seems replete with men who seek to follow society's secular changes rather than genuine development of Doctrine.Fr Gary Dicksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397542227969375169.post-20735473905304099682019-07-08T20:41:58.949+01:002019-07-08T20:41:58.949+01:00Please God the days of toleration are far behind u...Please God the days of toleration are far behind us.
