"Guard and defend me from the foe malign, in deaths dread moments make me only thine...." I never quite understood what the Foe Malign was about - is it to do with a malignant cancer? As a small child - and quite a precocious ****** - I'd got hold of the idea that "malign" was p...

No surprise there! - Looks as though it includes me too - my success rate when being dogmatic in this forum is not high!

Maybe I should stick to asking questions.

Q

(The clue's in the name.)

the rubric before the First Reading is ambiguous: Any of these readings from the Old Testament may be chosen (and not Any one of... ). Actually, no - "Any" is always singular - had the text read "Any of the readings is acceptable" to write "Any of the readings are acceptabl...

Dot I could do this if a Hotmail account is required, but you could do it - right click the offending email from not-Thomas, choose properties in the context menu, choose the Details tab, click the "message source" button, copy and paste the text. Or, if all that is specific to my email cl...

Hmmm, Presbyter - guess you're a tad more advanced than me on this kind of stuff!

Deferentially,

Q

Didn't this happen to someone slightly more famous (sorry, Thomas) recently - Jack Straw perhaps? - perhaps this is a sort of double scam? I noticed that the reply address (check the "message source") is actually genuinely Thomas's as posted in another thread (unwisely?) so any "Reply...

Me too - I think you've been hacked, Thomas - I got two copies to two of my (rather many) email addresses. I'll PM you with a bit more background. (I can't believe you'd ask for a "favor"!)

Q

Hmmmm . . I have a copy of "The Grail Psalms - singing version" - but there appear to be other "versions", including at least "text only" and "inclusive language". Relying on Nazard's 176 verses pointer I guess it's the one numbered 118 in this book. However, ...

Well, the Birmingham Archdiocese does have an active liturgy commission music committee (which includes a member of CJM), but, so far as I know, the liturgy commission wasn't approached on this occasion. "Active"? - didn't I read in another thread that its "brief had expired"? (...

I think we fixed June 6 I have 2nd May as the provisional date for this meeting. The home page has (very recently) the forthcoming meeting as February 28 - which unfortunately for me is already too short notice - but follow the link for details and it's October. Where should I be looking for these ...

Have pulled the plug on attempting Sancte Paule Apostole ater this morning's post mass reheasal. While the sops and alts were getting there, the men still have a way to go.Gwyn. That's a shame - we were looking forward to the early morning trip over the hills to hear you (well, perhaps "lookin...

Just what the doctor ordered. Glad it was useful - which have you chosen? As it's one of the Sundays when I am "stood down" in deference to the folk group I'm planning a quick trip over the hills to see (or rather hear) how you do things in distant Wales - I think I've found the necessary...

But where, Musicus?

The Archdiocese of Birmingham is setting up a committee for musical and liturgical formation. .... ....What's happening in your diocese? Does anyone know what happened to this committee? . . or to Presbyter for that matter (his PM link seems to have disappeared - as have also all details of members...
