Adductus Andreas ad locum martyrii, cum crucem vidisset, longe exclamare coepit:
O BONA CRUX, quae decorem ex membris Domini suscepisti, diu desiderata, sollicite amata, sine intermissione quaesita, et aliquando cupienti animo praeparata: accipe me ab hominibus, et redde me magistro meo; ut per te me recipiat, qui per te me redemit.
O blessed St Andrew, First-Called and Fisher of Men, of old thou didst summon thy brother St Peter into the presence of the Saviour; obtain now, we beseech thee, by thy powerful intercession for the people of Scotland that they might recognise in his successor the Vicar of Christ, and so enter into the vision of Him Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The indulgence is attached to taking part in some public rite in her honour, or to veneration of an image of our Blessed Mother set up in some public place, with recitation of the Our Father, the Creed, and some invocation of the Blessed Virgin conceived without sin (e. g. “Tota pulchra es, Maria, et macula originalis non est in te”, “Regina sine labe originali concepta, ora pro nobis”). And usual conditions.

‘But it treats homosexuality as a “tendency”, not an orientation’
‘Some Catholic theologians feel the document is not sufficiently clear, the BBC’s Peter Gould says.
‘That it refers to “tendencies” rather than orientation “has left many people scratching their heads,” Jesuit scholar Father Thomas Reese told him.’
What’s puzzling about this? I suppose I can see why certain sectors might prefer the concept of ‘orientation’ to that of ‘tendency’, but to use the term ‘tendency’ does not seem unclear to me.
It is rather bizarre that this is the main headline story on the World Service (not BBC News) front page. It really seems very far from the most significant thing happening in the world at present. The piece on Reporting Religion on the World Service at the weekend was sensible enough, though.
Oh well, this story is happier. (Though the headline doesn’t strictly make sense… ‘Vatican ordains Vietnamese priests’… I do wish that journalists wouldn’t make ‘the Vatican’ the grammatical subject in every headline concerning clerical activity…)

Go and listen to her songs now; though (alas) her tour has just ended with a very fine concert here yesterday, so you’ll have to get a CD or hope she gets played on Late Junction soon.
Sir Eglamore, Fa la lacky down dilly. Hurrah!

The non-Christian leaders added that the Kirk had been “too concerned” with being inclusive at the expense of laying down its own beliefs in schools.
From the news monitor.
Compare the report in the Catholic Herald this week that a local cooncil had forbidden a new GP surgery to be blessed by various Christian ministers, on the grounds that it might cause offence to those of other faiths. The local imam, when asked, was rather puzzled by this, it seems.
