The Rite: A Film Arriving in the UK on 25 Feb.

I would like to see this film when it arrives in the UK on 25 Feb. I am proposing a few of us gather together to go and see it on Sunday evening 27 Feb in London. If you live locally and would like to get together to view this film and perhaps meet for a discussion of the film and a drink after the viewing, please let me know in the comment box or send me an email at JeffSteel[at@]rcdow.org.uk.

See this story about a priest in the Archdiocese of Westminster .

"I was once, five or six years ago, taken by some friends to have dinner with Mary McCarthy and her husband, Mr. Broadwater... She departed the Church at the age of 15 and is a Big Intellectual. We went at eight and at one, I hadn't opened my mouth once, there being nothing for me in such company to say... Having me there was like having a dog present who had been trained to say a few words but overcome with inadequacy had forgotten them. Well, toward morning the conversation turned on the Eucharist, which I, being the Catholic, was obviously supposed to defend. Mrs. Broadwater said when she was a child and received the host, she thought of it as the Holy Ghost, He being the most portable person of the Trinity; now she thought of it as a symbol and implied that it was a pretty good one. I then said, in a very shaky voice, Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it. That was all the defense I was capable of but I realize now that this is all I will ever be able to say about it, outside of a story, except that it is the center of existence for me; all the rest of life is expendable."
