The end of Christianity? |
|
Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, the retired archbishop of Westminster, is warning that atheism seeks to wipe out Christianity from the United Kingdom. In a speech delivered this week in Leicester’s Anglican Cathedral, the prelate stated, “In the name of tolerance it seems to me tolerance is being abolished.”
500 turn out for May procession |
|
The city of Blackburn played host recently to over 500 people walking in a Marian Procession. Following on from the success of the procession last October at the south end of the diocese, this walk and others like it are heralding a new growth in popular piety that enkindles faith and gives a powerful witness.
Fr John Dugdale, who was responsible for the event, was pleased with the turnout and expressed his hope that the faith of many around would be uplifted by the joyful occasion.
