Archbishop Anthems

[@Bouncybon]

A glorious ceremony in the breath-taking interior of Westminster Cathedral. There's an air of expectation that this archbishop will make a significant contribution to Britain's national life. Down-to-earth, yes - but he is also a man of deep convictions and prayer.

[@steveedwards2062]

Absolutely glorious! Proof that Westminster Cathedral can equal Westminster Abbey in terms of British pomp and circumstance. Job well done! It was an incredibly fitting finale to the equally well done funeral of Cardinal Basil Hume. Makes me proud to be a Catholic in the UK and proud to be British. God save the King.

[@michaelhoerig5920]

[@Xfranman]

I watched from America this ceremony in its entirety. I thought Archbishop Nichols an inspired choice. He is Catholic but oh so British. Perfect for a minority community in a country with an established church. I was impressed with the respectful way in which Her Majesty The Queen was prayerfully remembered. Catholic and British, it was very easy to be proud of both.

This is a more elaborate one, "Elpidophoros, the Most Reverend Archbishop of the Holy Archdiocese of America, Guardian and Exarch of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, our spiritual father and hierarch,* Many Years!" *Substitute "Sheppard" if he is the diocesan hierarch.

In France many parishes have solved the question of altar girls by creating a separate liturgical function for girls called 'pastourelles'. These handle lead singing, reading, the offering processions and other tasks. The altar-related functions are covered by boys. Vestments are different too. Shame the Catholic Church in London gives in to this mild form of feminism. This is not the CoE.

習近平主席，上帝耶穌祝福您「國泰民安，風調雨順」。🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 (然而，耶穌清楚地告訴井邊的女人，衪就是彌賽亞(約翰福音4:26)。他沒有對她講比喻。耶穌對門徒說，他要對猶太人講比喻；但對門徒來說，他要用明白的話講，讓他們知道神國的奧秘。(太13:11。可4:11。路8:10)約瑟是雅各的繼承人。雅各給了他額外的一份，(創48:21-22)約瑟在新耶路撒冷有一扇門。他是以法蓮。) (撒瑪利亞人接受了基督，因為他們保留了他們宗教中.根深蒂固的原始彌賽亞主義，而猶太人則從他們的聖經中奪走了基督.並殺害了彌賽亞先知！) 不久的未來，惡魔將會取代耶穌💀💀 ※神會審判※是因為世人不守戒律！（撒旦會引發世界大戰，讓世人痛苦。) >主耶穌基督，請您趕快消滅偽裝上帝的猶太人吧< (美國共和黨比較有人類道德觀，以人為本；民主黨比較沒有人類道德觀，不以人為本！) "賀錦麗"只能說：背稿流利，辯論沒有邏輯，靠媒體撐場面！ (耶穌重新"安置"的戒律；是往生天國的關鍵，如果不能遵守，"聖經等於沒有用處！) 不只是基督教的十誡，在佛教的經典也有說：往生天界的十種善業，除了要孝順父母.奉事師長.兼行布施.一切忍辱，然後修十種善業：不殺生.不偷盜.不邪淫.不妄語.不綺語.不兩舌.不惡口.不貪欲.不瞋恚.不愚痴，修這十種善業才能生天。不只身體造作犯戒，在"菩薩戒"起心動念都算犯戒，要靠不斷懺悔改過，才能不起心動念。 (美國賀錦麗執政更惨，已經成為無法控制的大怪獸了！) 如果以人類的道德來看，美國與西方是不遵守秩序的大國。假耶穌基督之名，卻做不道德事！ 例如：同性婚，廢死刑，強暴墮胎，吸毒喪屍，搶劫商店，抹黑中國，干涉各國内政，製造更多仇恨。(美國一年大約一千名警察死於槍下！) 佛陀大覺者預言，人類會越來越沒有道德心，放縱私欲的結果，就是世界越沈淪！ 中國人從古至今，受到聖賢的教導，保有一定的禮儀，善良。(只有少數個案，整體上還是好的。) 牆外那些叛國份子，如果以古代刑罰，是要罪誅九族的，不要做連結外國人打自己人的漢奸。 《金剛心陀羅尼經》 「文殊菩薩問佛：云何方便？世尊曰：方便二字，略說有一十五種~~ 第一方便：不養不殺。 第二方便：不食酒肉。 第三方便：不造酒漿。 第四方便：不相侵害。 第五方便：莫錯指路。 第六方便：不可燒山。 第七方便：莫怨天地。 第八方便：急難相救。 第九方便：莫慢神明。 第十方便：莫出濁言。 十一方便：積仁布德。 十二方便：勤儉知足。 十三方便：敬老憐貧。 十四方便：修善因種福果。 十五方便：寃親平等，一體濟度。 若人行得十五方便，便得十五種清淨福報，常生人天，受諸快樂。」

Glorious....he is a true Catholic bishop unlike the lay archbishop of canterbury

[@NoiseGrinder]

Your jaundiced and out-dated opinion is not shared by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, visible head of the Catholic Church. The aforementioned Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, recently officiated at a celebration of Vespers in the Church of St Gregory the Great in Rome. They sat side by side. both vested in bishop's vestments. The Pope then presented the Archbishop with a replica of the Crozer given by Pope Gregory the Great to St Augustine. A very symbolic act. Whoever heard of a Pope giving a Crozier to a layman? The Catholic Church moves foreward in Chrstian charity with Pope Francis. Perhaps you would like to do the same for the love of God.

[@AmericansAlwaysFree]

NoiseGrinder pope Francis is a heretic

[@m-hayek1985]

First off its already been declared by Pope St Leo xxiii that all Anglican orders are null and void and you know what, no Pope has or attempted to overwrite that because its already been defined. Second giving someone a Crozer as a gift does not mean much. Its a gift; it was probably chosen by his secretary anyway. Popes have been meeting with Anglicans for years this is not new. "Whoever heard of a Pope giving a Crozier to a layman" actually the crozier used to be given to also judges, dukes and kings and they are laymen. Lastly your liberal "catholic" ideology is dying off as you liberals don't have kids or if you do they leave the faith. On the other hand traditionalist Catholicism is thriving. Your heretical ideas will not last for long because you guys don't produce vocations or children. On the other hand we produce many children and vocations. So you can quit your dying and outdated 1960's based liberal ideology.
