Up the Mountain

I have been pleasantly surprised by the Carmelites recently. Coming in to their priory on Kensington Church Street one day a bit late for Mass, what do I see but people receiving communion, kneeling at an altar rail. Further study showed quite a lot of them receiving on the tongue. This of course doesn’t make the place a perfect parish in itself, there were still so many of the NO goings on that a you’d need a bit more than a stick if you’d want to shake something at them. That, obviously because we are still talking about a NO Mass..
