Arranged by Vincent Nichols in conjunction with the Tablet.
To mark Lent, the Archdiocese of Westminster has organized a strong programme of public lectures exploring heresy in all its aspects. Here are some of the forthcoming attractions.
Tina Beattie shirts are now on sale.
To kick off, Professor Tina Beattie will be explaining the heresies of modernism. We look forward to hearing her views on the doctrine on same-sex marriage, as explained in that beautiful passage from Matthew 19 in the Roehampton Bible.
Have ye not read, that He who made man from the beginning, made them male and male, and female and female, and sometimes a bit of both? For this cause shall a man leave father and father's boyfriend, and shall cleave to another man, and they two shall be in one flesh.
One of the sacred texts we shall study in Lent.
As an encore she will read from her wonderful book God's Mother, Eve's Advocate, where the Mass is likened to an orgasmic celebration of homosexual love.
Says Tina: "One of my favourite ploys is to announce that I am giving a lecture about the Blessed Virgin Mary. After that, I can say what I like!" A Tablet spokesman said, "If Mary is God's Mother, then surely Tina is God's slightly eccentric Auntie!"
Alain de Bottom (L, with ass's head).
Also coming to Westminster is celebrity intellectual Alain de Bottom, "The man with the ass's head," who will be providing spiritual nourishment from his new book Religion for Atheists. In particular he will be talking about his Ten Commandments for Atheists.
Says Alain: "If I had to design a list of 10 virtues that could apply today, I might go for the following:
Smugness, Banality, Self-centredness, Pretentiousness, Emeticality, Pseudo-intellectualism, Moral blindness, Fluffy niceness, Apparent omniscience, and Pomposity."
Marcel Proust, author of Comment Alain de Botton peut changer votre vie.
However, Damian Thompson, a well-known expert on custard who occasionally dabbles in Catholic journalism, expressed a dissenting viewpoint: "Frankly, I can't take Alain seriously, as he is going very bald."
Chris Bryant MP (with offensive parts redacted).
Fresh from the same-sex "marriage" debate in the House of Commons, we have Chris Bryant MP, star of a "gay-dating" website, who will speak on What is truth?
Says Chris, "I want to get away from old-fashioned notions of truth and falsehood. As I said to Edward Leigh in the House of Commons, the assurances that I made a few years ago no longer apply because I believe that the world has moved on."
Father, don't blame me: that cherry tree came down because the world has moved on.
Says Vincent Nichols, "I am hoping that by inviting so many experts to challenge Catholic doctrine I shall become more well-known in Rome, and - who knows? - I may finally get that elusive red hat."
darling eccles - it seems as though Tina may actually be a sock puppet of your anti moly - does Bosco know? xx Jess
ReplyDeleteI dunno, Jess. But now you dat Bosco is occupyin a cell in your watchtower, you can ask him youself.

DeleteIndeed, Jessica. Phil, when putting his oar in, talks something which in RP English, rhymes with rowlocks.
DeleteJudging by his later comments, we'd better not ask where he puts the oar in xx Jess
DeleteMust book a seat....hang on though.......I'm on car valeting duties that evening. Chiz!
ReplyDeleteThe only truth the progressive holds to is that promises are made to be broken.

ReplyDeleteEccles, when Mr.Bryant goes for a shower he's goin to be mad when he sees you redacted his parts.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteOnce again I find it necessary to complain on moral grounds about your picture of a donkey in a grossly amorous engagement with a pretty lady. Not only is this an encouragement to those seeking to enshrine "equal marriage" but it is also a temptation to those attracted to donkeys. And this looks like a particularly flirty one.
If this kind of filth continues I will have to cancel my online subscription to the Daily Telegraph and seek assinine addiction counselling.

Never mind the heresy, what about the horsey!

The Beattie lecture on Lumen Gentium will now take place in the Diocese of Westminster.
ReplyDeleteIt's an ill wind...
...that results from poorly digested theology?
DeleteIt's an equinable life, Henry.
ReplyDeleteIn all fairness, when it says "100% beef", it means that the beef component is 100% beef.
No lies have been told.

ReplyDeleteWhy is the Eccles and Bosco site banned on the Daily Telegraph blogs and any publicity immediately deleted? You are familiar with the personnel involved. Could you explain to the clerics who occasionally visit why any name connected with this blog is blocked.
Hallo phil138 !!!
DeleteHave you sorted out your multiple personality disorder yet ?
When are you going to stop your moronic trolling ?
When Elaine pulls the plug on him.
DeleteIs Elaine his carer? Does she know where the sockpuppets are buried? Can she be bribed to let me in and give him a good f***ing kicking for the nasty personal stuff he has peddled for too long?
DeleteJust one clue, that's all I need. Keep your head down, Phil b***tard.
because its a stepping stone to me. The catholic clerics want to keep their jobs and the perks that go with it. My site will put them out on the street, where they belong. Cardinal mahoney is getting his come uppins here in los angeles, shuffeling around his buddy boys. its what they all do. he just got caught.
DeletePowerful stuff. (Not.)
ReplyDeletesay eccles, why you take off my post. i dont take off post at my none but the brave site. You chicken thief
ReplyDeleteGotta keep it clean, Bosco. Dat's what saved pussons does.

ReplyDeleteJabba, i mean eccles, in a room full of idiots, you would be considered an idiot. Yes, i busted you Jabba the hut.
ReplyDeleteSo you are saying that only a roomful of idiots would consider Jabba to be an idiot? I concur, and assume you were present at the time to record the fact.
DeleteI was the seargent at arms.So Jadis, how the witch business treating you?Has your master Satan given you any promotions lately? He should, youre doing such good work for him.
