“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

The chasuble looks to be a different color; do you know if it is? I ask, because I’m told that in some “uses,” red vestments would be used for Passiontide. I didn’t know if this was the case for the Norbertines.
It could, of course, just be a different shade of violet…
The chasuble is ‘Tyrian Purple’ (often called Roman Purple). At a distance it can look closer to red but up close it does look more purple.
“… the newly appointed Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, Most Rev. Richard Moth. ”
Note for Father Z: Once again, may I remind you that bishops in England and Wales are “Right Reverend”, not “Most Reverend”? Only archbishops are “Most Reverend”. The new bishop is the “Right Rev. Richard Moth”.
I clicked through the photographs to see what the Premonstratensian Rite did differently it and I thought interesting, after the last Gospel the Priest returns to the centre and confesses again. (I got to the sermon again before realizing that the photos had cycled through and the rite does not go Mass of the Catechumens, Sermon, Mass of the Faithful, Repeat)
Apparently Archbp Nichols (Westminster) has criticised priests who signed the letter…
@Tony Phillips
“This dialogue, between a priest and his bishop, is not best conducted through the press.”
No word on what His Eminence Card Nichols thinks of the debate between Cardinals being carried out in the press.
