The British Museum Has Something Canterbury Can't Explain
From Totus Catholica
In the British Museum, there is a mosaic made around 350 AD, found buried under a farm field in Dorset in 1963, that Canterbury can't explain. At its centre is the oldest known portrait of Christ in all of Britain, made by a Catholic, in a Catholic home, during Catholic worship. 1,200 years before the Church of England even existed. Tertullian wrote around 200 AD that the haunts of the Britons had been subjugated to Christ. In 314 AD, three British bishops attended the Council of Arles in full communion with Rome. The Water Newton treasure is the oldest Christian liturgical silver in the entire Roman Empire. The 106th Archbishop of Canterbury just took her seat.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
