From Eccles is Saved
Following the departure of the Catholic Herald's UK editor, Luke Coppen, to pastures new, and the collapse of the magazine's US edition - allegedly because the editorial board wanted the magazine to be cosy and uncontroversial, while the staff wanted to smite the unsaved - it has been announced that the CH will be merging with Hello!
In the first issue of the new soaraway Catholic Hello! we shall see:
* Top Catholic Ted McCarrick shows us round his delightful beach house.
* Vatican expert Cardinal Coccopalmerio advises us on the best way to get "high".
* Cardinal Kasper tells us of six new heresies that he thought of before breakfast.
Pope Francis advises us on protective masks against the Corona virus.
* Father James Martin SJ demonstrates some of the main postures used in Ignatian Yoga, and invites us to a Catholic LGBT retreat in San Francisco.
* Top dictator Xi Jinping explains how Chinese Catholics can be "good citizens" (© Pope Francis), and shows us round the charming labour camps where the less good citizens are being made comfortable.
"I was only a 7-stone weaking until I discovered Catholicism."
* England's worst bishop, John Arnold, asks "Is Greta Thunberg the new St Bernadette?"
* Celebrity biographer Austen Ivereigh guides us round his extensive collection of Pachamama idols.
* Finally, we ask, how will top Catholic sex symbols Joe Biden and Massimo Faggioli be celebrating Amoris Laetitia week (formerly called Holy Week)?

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.
