I just want to applaud Bishop David asking us what we think he should say to the Pope later this year. That’s such a good use of a Primus’s blog. I hope he gets plenty of comments.
Here is a quick video of the Botafumeiro swinging in Compostella last year as promised in the sermon this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Qiv3F3bv4&feature=related Commentary is a bit intrusive. Watch out for the brilliant catch and swirl movement by the chief tiraboleiro as it is brought to rest at the end. There is a simulation of how it…
For the Feast of St Hamish.
