The Campionites

Everyone, I'm working on a project for another website about Catholicism in the Commonwealth Realms. Not focussing on the Commonwealth as a whole, but rather, the Catholics of the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc...

I need some help, and if anyone would be interested, could you please PM me? Thank you!

As always, Pearly, you are alert to Edmund Campion news! I hadn't even noticed the Jesuit connection with Pope Francis and Edmund Campion.

Thankyou for reminding us!

Pater Edmundus Campianus, Martyr, ora pro nobis.

Hi Pearl,

Sorry I missed this post during Holy Week. I've tried to set up email notifications for posts from this group, but it doesn't seem to work.

That's exciting for Wyndysascha! I hope that his reception into the Church went well.

I will say a prayer of thanks.

Hi, Edmundus!

Sorry for taking forever to get back to you!

So, who do you think really killed the Princes in the Tower? Richard III, Henry VII, or someone else? Or do you think they were never killed at all? I think it's pretty much up in the air, but I think it's fair to say that both Richard and Henry could be brutal when necessary, although I don't think either were mass murderers.

I heard from a friend that they planned on giving Richard III's remains an Anglican funeral and burial.....but that Catholics were putting up a fight and insisting that, since he was a Catholic king, he should have a Catholic funeral and burial! I was thinking that perhaps two funerals, one Anglican and one Catholic, might solve the problem. Do you know what happened?

Also, while we're in the "what-happened-to-such-and-such" mode, does anyone know what happened to the Glastonbury Thorn? It was hacked down by vandals back in 2011 when I first started this group, and it was one of the first topics we discussed! However, we never found out if it was grafted and replanted or what.....does anyone know?

Blessings,
Pearl

Hi, Gang!

First, thank you, withnailand for posting that picture of the Irish Coast! Is that a real picture or a painting? Also, is it a picture of Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland? Please post some more if you get the chance!

As for me and my house , I finally figured out how to post pictures on this site myself!!! So now you can check out the bunch of "super Brits" I put up:

We've got Fr. Edmund Campion, Sir Thomas More, Gen. Thomas Gage, Maj. John Pitcairn, Sir John Moore, Flora MacDonald, Bishop Alexander McDonell, William Wilberforce, Queen Mary I, and King George III. To figure out who's who, go to my album; I've put captions there to help you sort them out!

God Bless,

As far as I understand, Burma was under British rule until 1948, but it didn't become part of the Commonwealth. My history around that sort of thing is quite sketchy. The country has had a lot of problems with uprisings, military rule, human rights abuses etc in the past but I think they're working it out and moving towards a more democratic state now.

Why LotR/Pokémon? Well I read a fanfic where they told Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with pokémon instead, and I decided to do the same thing with LotR. And yes, I am in college

Thanks for the tip! I've never read a whole Chesterton novel - only a few Fr Brown stories and an essay or two. He is a great writer!
