I guess it's really not something you see every day in London




Update: This just in via FB from Fr. Hugh (the gentleman in white)

At Twickenham (where the pic was taken) I left early because I had to get back for a requiem. As I left, the protestors screamed at me and were pretty ugly. the moment was redeemed by an African nun in blue appearing out of nowhere and giving them all the "V" sign. I was soooooooooooooooo proud!


Ah yes, the Peace n' Tolerance crowd distinguishing themselves by their good manners and intelligent commentary.

The nun, btw, is a Visitation sister from this monastery.

    Ah, good old Fr. Hugh Allen, the Norbertine, looking svelte as ever! I don't know who his girlfriend is.

    If you'd been dressed as an imam, Father, the protesters would have been fervently scanning the sidewalks for loose change.

    What a perfect picture. Catholics at large, frightening the horses.
