Blogged by James Preece on 16th January 2013
One of the problems with blogs is that nobody fact checks them and they are riddled with errors. For authentic top quality journalism you have to check out a proper newspaper, like the front cover of this week's Universe.
The caption reads: "...are chased by two Roman soldiers..."
Dude! Those are clearly Vikings.

I am a Catholic Dad living in Kingston Upon Hull in Yorkshire.
I like fun stuff like juggling, drawing, unicycling, toy trains, building blocks and video games. I like interesting stuff like history, theology, science and computers.
I find that all of these things have something to do with God.

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee.
By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more.
Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the cross.
O sorrowful Mother! intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son.
Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home.
Amen.
O God, our heavenly Father, protect and bless us. Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day.
Grant that by thy mercy, neither of us may ever say one unkind word to the other. Forgive and correct our faults, and make us constantly to forgive one another should one of us unconsciously hurt the other.
Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in heart, and devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then, we pray thee, add to our common life such virtues as only thou canst give.
And so, O Father, consecrate our life and love completely to thy worship, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom thou hast appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before thee in happiness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

I was thinking that. Did anyone check whether or not they knew the meaning of fear?
I think we should be told.

In the interest of inclusivity, they look to me like Roman and Celt, makes little difference, by the look of their anger and/or fear, they're probably Roman Catholic Celtic (E&W) Bishops.

At the risk of committing thoughtcrime and hate speech,with apologies in advance, I have a countertheory: this being Yorkshire , could this be five seconds after trying to test the cousin-author Bill Bryson's aphorism "Never ask a Yorkshireman a question that can't be answered by "pint of Tetley's" " ?

Dear James,
Mea Culpa, we're not sure how that one slipped through, but the staff have asked me to convey apologies.
Thanks, though, for the general compliment about The Universe, it's nice to know that our apostolate, and the hard work of the staff, is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joseph Kelly,
Managing Editor
The Universe Catholic weekly
