Ecumenism

Back in the parish of Lamford, they've just been on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Il Rettore thought he would hate it, but in fact it turned out to be rather fun. All the establshments of the Roman observance they visited along the way knew perfectly well the Lamford crowd adhered to the See of Canterbury - not least because Mrs Rettore was there - and yet at one Spanish abbey Father Abbot actually asked him to concelebrate at Mass. Doesn't that invalidate the sacraments of the entire diocese, or something? Then at Compostela itself the Lamford pilgrims were given a chapel in the Cathedral and Rettore was draped with antique vestments and chalices to say Mass for them.

I think Il Papa should be told. Or perhaps not.
