The saddest thing is that some would "dissect" it so and judge whether it was "good enough". <BR/><BR/>Love is always good enough.

Oxbridge masculinity. It gave me a very helpful context for the ancient bachelors that haunt the colleges of Oxbridge, who are, on the one hand, so very queer, but, on the other hand, so very not. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The pragmatic Catholic corner of my brain is of the opinion that once Newman is made a saint, the unofficial relic-hunters will exercise even less regard for Newman's wishes than the current batch of official relic-collectors. Catholics shuffle the bones of their saints like cards.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724364909872924908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-77287077859968040052008-08-27T20:22:00.000-04:002008-08-27T20:22:00.000-04:00What a horrible thing to do!

Even if these are just remains of human bodies, this dishonors these men and their feelings for each other, regardless of the forms those feelings took.

I was intrigued by the story when I read it awhile back & never got around to writing my own post (I am embroiled in writing my thesis these days).

To “venerate” this man by disregarding his last earthly wish shows just how far distanced the RC church has become from the human heart. <BR/><BR/>I have just finished reading something about Newman on Wickipedia, and was very moved to learn that "the pall over the coffin bears his cardinal's motto Cor ad cor loquitur (‘Heart speaks to heart‘). Inseparable in death as in life, the two men have a joint memorial stone that is inscribed with the words he had chosen: Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem (‘Out of shadows and phantasms into the truth‘).” Wow. Cardinal Newman would definitely have approved of you. <BR/><BR/>JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-56888781400655907212008-08-27T04:12:00.000-04:002008-08-27T04:12:00.000-04:00Bless me father for I have sinned.

Reconciling the conflict frequently feels, I don't know, incomplete. Something's missing. <BR/><BR/>Outside of that, what's missing here is compassion. Expediency wins over grace.<BR/><BR/>Can you please translate the verses you put to music? I cannot find an adequate translation online. And do you have a recording of your own work?
