Latin Mass at Westminster

Damien Thompson reports on the arrival of a prince of the Church, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, to celebrate the Latin Mass at Westminster Cathedral, London.

The Cardinal was invited by the Latin Mass Society -- not Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor (surprised?). Thompson writes:

Westminster liberals will regard this event with the horror that “Bishop” Richard Williamson would reserve for a performance of The Sound of Music in the sanctuary of St Nicolas du Chardonnet. Too bad.

Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, dressed as a milkman, once met the Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar and, after revealing his identity, persuaded him to confess his sins. My advice to Tabletistas: don’t mess with the man in the cappa magna.
