HOLY TOUPEES BATMAN! MEN WEARING HATS IN WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL AND ITS THEME SONG!

 This morning, Cardinal Nichols celebrated the Red Mass, marking the start of the new legal year. 

'It is a Mass steeped in history. Mass has been celebrated in this country to mark the start of the legal year for more than 800 years, and in Europe still longer. It is right that we, in our turn, do this: we pray that the Holy Spirit will not only guide our minds, but the work of all those entrusted with the administration of law and justice, so essential to the good of society.'
