Catholics are praying to St Michael again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are few prayers in common Catholic use which sound more “ancient” than the Prayer to St Michael, which uses phrases such as “defend us in battle”, “wickedness and snares of the devil”, “Prince of the heavenly host”. It seems to belong naturally to the world of crusaders, gargoyles and medieval churches – in fact, it is younger than the telephone. The prayer was composed by Pope Leo XIII and added in 1886 to the prayers then said after every Low Mass. Those prayers themselves had a politica
The Catholic world of the Bayeux Tapestry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Bayeux Tapestry has returned to England for the first time in nearly a thousand years. His Majesty King Charles III and President Emmanuel Macron inspected it at the British Museum on September 2, ahead of the exhibition opening to the public on September 10. It is an extraordinary homecoming, not least because the famous “French” tapestry was probably made in England in the first place. It is, in fact, not actually a tapestry. It is an embroidery, nearly 70 metres long, depicting the events
The danger of compassion without conscience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are three facts worth remembering about the Lindsay Clancy trial before getting lost in all the debates surrounding it: Cora Clancy was five years old, Dawson was three and Callan was eight months.

Her lawyer has said explicitly that he is not contesting the prosecution’s basic case that she strangled each child with exerci
Politics can defeat assisted suicide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a brief moment earlier this year, it looked as though the assisted suicide Bill had been defeated. Not by some great parliamentary revolt, but simply because the clock ran out. Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill had passed the Commons, but became bogged down in the House of Lords: peers tabled more than 1,000 amendments and spent 14 days examining it in committee. When Parliament was prorogued at the end of April, the Bill had not completed its remaining stages, and it
In praise of the Latin Mass Society (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a moment on the Latin Mass Society’s annual pilgrimage to Walsingham when the comparison with Chartres breaks down completely. You’ve spent the day walking the English countryside, chanting the rosary, singing hymns, gradually acquiring blisters, until somebody announces there’s a pub coming up in 10 minutes. Chartres is magnificent – tens of thousands of Catholics marching across France to one of the great cathedrals of Christendom is hard to beat. But Walsingham has its own unmistakabl
