He supported the canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, despite accusations that it was 'unoecumenical'. It was also he that requested the 'Agatha Christie Indult' from Pope Paul VI, for the allowance of the Latin Mass, with the mutilations of 1965 and 1967, to be celebrated occasionally in England and Wales before the motu proprio Ecclesia Dei granted permission for the unmutilated Tridentine Mass.

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.
