Transalpine Redemptorists

 

Congratulations to the Transalpine Redemptorists who have announced today that they have been granted canonical recognition as a Clerical Institute of Diocesan Right by His Lordship the Right Reverend Dom Hugh Gilbert, O.S.B., Bishop of Aberdeen.  

Great news for the Church in the U.K. as I understand that they have men ready to ordain and hopefully this can now take place.  As orthodox thinking and Traditional groups come fully into the Church under the pastoral care shown by Pope Benedict the dioceses in this country will find themselves influenced for the good by staunch supporters of the Holy Father and exemplars of living Catholic life to the full.

Well done to Bishop Hugh as well for sorting out this long overdue recognition.
