Fr Timothy Radcliffe to become a Cardinal on December 8th

[@EdMcF1]

Someone in the Italian car industry allegedly told Enzo Ferrari that he wished that Enzo had been made a Cardinal. When asked why, he replied that then they'd only have to kiss his ring.

The Catholic Church in the form of Pope Francis has decided that the CoE is basically the way, the truth and the light.

Huh? For almost a century now the ecumenical movement in the Catholic Church has grown and in particular Catholic scholars accept that valuable insights have come Protestant scholars. The scholars who put together the two newest ‘Catholic’ bible translations in English (the New Jerusalem Bible and the New Catholic Bible) openly say they used the work of Protestant scholars including some in the CoE. Of course there are and always will be extremists looking back to some mythical golden sage.

This Pope has studiously avoided Roman Cardinal appointments to either the Metropolitan of Milan (Head of the Ambrosian Rite) or the important Patriarch of Venice. This is most unusual. Even more strangely, he appointed one of the nine suffragan Bishops of the Province of Milan as Cardinal.

Agree one hundred percent.

Also it’s Blackfriars Hall which is run by the Priory of the Holy Spirit

[@ProfessorTimWilson]

it is blackfriars, I used to work in their library!

[@minui8758]

@@ProfessorTimWilson gorgeous spot to study. Always envied the postgrads living in. And you can peak down to see the liturgy/visit the Blessed Sacrament mid read through that little cubby window. Always struck me as one of the most charming details I’ve ever seen in a library

“Blackfriars”. And he’s an Old Lib from the 70s which is why he’s been chosen

Sir you are like a breath of fresh air thanks for this video

Wonderful.

Glad to see I'm not the only one knocking down the hungover Santa look this morning

[@kevinhealey6540]

Why more and more are leaving it to find one that follows doctrine.

[@kevinhealey6540]

Thanks for the highlight, it means a lot.

I blame all the commenters who accuse you of having escaped from Hogwarts for my first reaction to this video's title: what?! Harry Potter's assuming a red cassock?! Luckily, I quickly disabused myself of the notion...

In America we consider Radcliffe a vile heretic.

[@epincion]

Indeed and it’s clear that US Catholic’s think Trump is Gods anointed

[@wendyfield7708]

What? All Americans? I think not!

[@epincion]

@@wendyfield7708 I fully agree with you

[@minui8758]

Absolutely love the man! He’s been an astonishingly graceful and compassionate confessor to me on a number of occasions. I literally asked for someone else when I first got to uni because I was overawed to be confessed by the former OP Master. No one else was there so had to have him and then tried to get him every time after. Marvellous speaker, marvellous pastor, has already been to the top but wasn’t spoiled by it so proven his suitability. I’m utterly thrilled. Te Deums all over England are called for! It’s another St John Henry or Dom Aidan Gasquet! Our own specially chosen non episcopal cardinal! Can you tell I’m excited?! 😂😂😂

[@alexmckenna1171]

He's allowed to wear a prettier dress now. He must be so pleased with himself.

[@firestar7774]

🥹Gosh!

[@minui8758]

Overawed and humbled if his day to day manner are anything to go by. What a vicious insinuation

[@wendyfield7708]

He will wear his Dominican habit.
