From Eccles is Saved
Following Dr Austen Ivereigh's courageous correction of Queen Elizabeth's use of, er, the Queen's English*, he is now working on a new phrase book explaining how we should all talk.
*Don't worry, Austen, you won't be sent to the Tower until the pandemic is over.
Oh, your Majesty, if only Austen had been there to advise you!
We are happy to present a few examples of Ivereigh-speak from the new phrase book.
English: Dictator.
Ivereigh: Wounded shepherd.
Ivereigh: Wounded shepherd.
Example of usage: "Mussolini was a notorious wounded shepherd."
Wounded shepherd.
English: Convert.
Ivereigh: Neurotic.
Ivereigh: Neurotic.
Example: Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first neurotic in the province of Asia. Romans 16:5.
St Epenetus the neurotic.
English: Traditional Catholic.
Ivereigh: Gay.
Ivereigh: Gay.
Example: Until the 1960s, all Catholic worship was gay.
Don't let Austen in - he's not gay!
English: Destroyer of idols.
Ivereigh: Fascist.
Ivereigh: Fascist.
Example: When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he turned into a fascist. Exodus 31: 19-20.
"Moses, you're a fascist!"

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.
