Mouse was impressed by Rowan Williams' speech in Rome earlier in the week. Yes, it was done in Rowan's own way, couched in academic terms and with complex and subtle trains of thought. However, the central thrust was direct and hard hitting. For a full account of what he said, Mouse recommends Ruth Gledhill .

I guess I will comment more in detail in the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Gregorian Pontifical University . It is a rather long speech and is worth some detailed looks.

Cranmer was going to talk about the 20-minute meeting the Archbishop of Canterbury had with the Pope yesterday. But it hardly seems worth it. They have agreed 'to make progress'. That's nice, but there can be none.

Specifically, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is in high dudgeon at Pope Benedict XVI for his blatant sheep-stealing move on trying to get Anglican priests to scurry to Rome. But, at the end, they kissed and made nice, in a way. There is no god and I am his prophet.
