Chevalier Charles Coulombe on Julian of Norwich, Heretic?
The Chevalier answering a questioner who says of Dame Julian, 'She is a heretic!' He defends her against accusations made on the internet, saying that she held the heresy of universalism, pointing out that such an accusation is disproven by actually reading what she wrote. This leads into a digression on how people today read about people's writings, rather than reading the writings themselves.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
