Such a celebration could only be celebrated by a Catholic priest. I would offer myself but suspect that the offer would not be accepted!Doodlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476313122409864359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-2260394895032086462012-09-18T20:39:55.494+01:002012-09-18T20:39:55.494+01:00@Doodler: the service for the Mary Rose bodies was...@Doodler: the service for the Mary Rose bodies was the worst form of pastiche. better that they should have had a protestant service taken by somebody who believed in what he was talking to God about than a sham fake. If it's not a Mass by a priest who is in communion with Richard III (NB, N very B, the present tense), then it's not what RIII's own faith demands.Ttonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185875893212146794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-62958322140177185302012-09-17T19:27:20.586+01:002012-09-17T19:27:20.586+01:00I believe the (then-)Dean of Salisbury, David Stan...I believe the (then-)Dean of Salisbury, David Stancliffe, decided that a form of the Latin Sarum Rite should be celebrated for the burial of bodies from the Mary Rose which sank in 1545 - this being considered to be the most appropriate. It is to be hoped that a similarly sympathetic decision might be made by Dean Faull which will allow a proper celebration of the appropriate rites of the Catholic Church should the occasion arise.
