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.'

Yes our judges wear silly wigs except for trials involving children where they’re deemed to be scary.
Glad I’ve converted you to Westminster Cathedral my favourite place of worship.
That’s not the Benedictine arrangement. It’s been like that pre Benedict and the crucifix and big six are on a shelf behind the high altar. The celebrant actually faces the back of the “great rood” (hanging cross) with an image of our lady of sorrows on the reverse.
