Quote for the day...

From The Christocentric Life, heading an article about St. John Fisher:

"If more Catholic Bishops were like Fisher more Catholic politicians would be like St. Thomas More"


O God, who didst raise up amongst the English people thy blessed Martyrs St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More in defense of the faith and in witness to the dignity of Apostolic Authority: grant by their merits and prayers; that in the profession of one faith we may all be made one in Christ, and in Him continue to be at one with one another. Through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Fr. Christopher-
Just read the posting about Hymn books in England and the 3 versions used by high, middle & low Anglican Churches up to the 60's.

What hymnal do Anglican Use parishes use? I don't recall it ever being stated anywhere. The 1940 Episcopal Hymnal or the English Hymnal? Something else? I don't believe U.S. Catholics have had just 1 solid hymnal since before WWII. I hope you haven't been stuck with one of those post VII ones!

Enlighten us please!
