Two notes for those devoted to the Venerable Newman...
Mr. Serafin reminds us all that today is the anniversary of the publication of Tract 90 ... the public 'beginning of the end' of Newman's life as an Anglican.
Also, I have just received word that Mr. Gerard Tracey, who worked with the archives at the Birmingham Oratory for many years, has gone to his reward. I'm sure that prayers for the repose of his soul would be welcome.
