Whatever.
Who goes to Mass on Sunday?
Who does stuff when it needs doing?
Who went to Hyde Park and Cofton Park? (Not me, as it goes, but quite a few people I know who then went to work or school on the Monday.)
Who turned up at Cofton Park at 4.30am and sat in the rain for 5 1/2 hours?
Who stood outside Westminster Abbey for hours on the Friday?
Who are the people buying pushchirs for the Sisters in Glasgow, coffee from the Carmelites in the US, subscribing to the Redemptorists' publications, going on the Rosary Crusade, turning up at lots of other things...?
Who isn't making a fuss about the new translation of the Mass?
Who didn't make a fuss (in a bad way,) about Cardinal Newman's Beatification?
Who is doing a whole host of other things, beavering away...?
Lots of poeple.

Marching in London
I wasn't marching yesterday. Sadly it's a bit late since one of my immediate family has recently been made redundant for the second time in two years and this time from the civil service ...
Saw the march from the train and close up by the tube station and arrived at the venue to find four policmen in the church, ready for any smashers of shop windows to arrive. At one point in the rehearsal, they all put their yellow jackets on and left, which was interesting, but it turned out the trouble, such as it was, was elsewhere. Still in the end I was pleased I didn't go to the pub after as Trafalgar Sq was sounding busy at 11pm.
What always amuses me is that you may be knee deep in police and ambulance folk, but the lady selling the Sunday papers is still there with her stall.

Trompe l'oeil
I'm sorry anybody was ever expected to go to that Church featured on Damian Thompson's blog.
The Ordinariate people must number some folks a dab hand with a paint brush.
and if they are being given it, or even loaned it, gift horses, mouths etc.
Time for a clever trick with the eyes. A blank canvas. They could repaint it as their favourite Cathedral. St Pauls' before the Great Fire?
