Damian Thompson reports:
As the Catholic Herald reveals this week, leading Catholics including Lord Alton of Liverpool, Bianca Jagger and Dom Antony Sutch have signed a petition asking the bishops of England and Wales to provide more Latin Sunday Masses in the extraordinary form (Tridentine rite).
The petition - which has been signed by Catholics from across the political spectrum - "humbly requests" that the bishops make traditional Masses widely available to the faithful, in accordance with Pope Benedict's wishes. Progress on this front has been slow, to put it mildly.
Signatories include Catholics not normally associated with traditionalist circles, such as the concert pianist Stephen Hough and Robin Baird-Smith, publisher of Continuum Books. He has written on the petition: "Liberal and progressive, I am nonetheless in support of the petition's aims."

LOL, very interesting. Well at least Bianca Jagger believes in religious tolerance and she is old enough to know the pre Paul VI's mass. Good for her and for the Catholic Church.
This could be an interesting development... what if the press gets hold of this and runs with it? Other celebrities jump on board... becomes a "cause celebre" maybe? Just letting my mind wander, but stranger things have happened.
Yes Chironomo. How about Marilyn Manson Mason?
