Papal tapestries
A supplementary joy of the Papal visit has been the opportunity to see four of the tapestries woven to designs by Raphael to a Papal commission of 1515 and intended to hang in the Sistine Chapel.

Post-Papal blues
After all the excitement, this is what we must not succumb to! We have plenty of opportunity to take in the whole experience more slowly, by looking at the photographs and reading the ‘message’.
Dear Holy Father: Welcome to Britain
Please bring us a message to enthuse people so that they wish to follow Christ, a message of hope
Blessed John Henry Newman
Who was this man, who will be beatified by the Pope during a Mass in Birmingham on September 19?
