No Public Ceremony – The Copts fear Violence
Egypt
On the feast of the Coptic Epiphany, observed on January 18, the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church will, for the first time, not celebrate the public liturgy in Alexandria. His decision to hold a private ceremony reflects the concerns about anti-Christian violence in Egypt, in the wake of rioting that left 22 dead and nearly 100 injured at a church in Alexandria. The 87-year-old Coptic leader has recently returned from a trip to the US for medical treatment.
Former Anglican Bishop Celebrates His First Mass in Oxford
UK
On Sunday, Fr Andrew Burnham – a former Anglican Bishop – has celebrated his first Mass as a Catholic Priest. The Mass took place at the Oxford Oratory. At it seems it was celebrated in Latin. The homily was delivered by the famous British theologian, Father Aidan Nichols. Knights of Malta participated in the Recessional procession. Burnham used to be a so-called "flying bishop" responsible for Anglicans who refused to acknowledge women’s ordination. Burnham’s wife Cathy followed him into the Catholic Church.
Total Chaos
Brazil
Caritas International has issued an appeal for aid to Brazil, which is suffering from its worst floods and landslides in 40 years. The flooding has left over 500 dead and more than 13,000 are homeless. Bishop Filippo Santoro of Petropolis reported to Caritas Brazil that there is total chaos where he is. People urgently need drinking water, food and hygiene articles.
All This Will Not Happen
Internet
Earlier this month Father Tim Finigan listed ten things that he thinks will not happen in the forthcoming year. Here some of them: Fr Zuhlsdorf will not agree that "O God you are very big and Jesus is really nice. Amen" is a good translation of the Collect for the fourth Sunday of Lent. The Transalpine Redemptorists will not run an enneagram course at Papa Stronsay with breakout groups for psychic aromatherapy. Chris Gillibrand will not buy himself a clown nose, funny hat and vuvuzela to accompany his yodelling slot in the annual Bier und Volksmesse somewhere in Austria. James Preece will not be appointed Public Relations Director for the Diocese of Middlesbrough. Fr Hunwicke will not make a mistake in his Latin. The Chant Café will not run a series of articles on the advantages of Rhythm & Blues as an alternative to the settings of the Introit in the Roman Gradual. Raffaella will not publish slightly fewer than a thousand posts a day. Andrea Tornielli will not hear about an official Vatican appointment without having known about it at least six months beforehand. Damian Thompson will not get a pre-shined polyester suit and Bart-Simpson-tie from “Next” to wear as office gear for his new post as Executive Director of Eccleston Square. Father Tim concludes: Not going to happen. Happy New Year!
