Titled, The importance of Tradition in our times' de Mattei beautifully and with sound evidential reference conveyed that the truth cannot be manipulated.
In March, H.E. Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke gave a talk in Chester. I found great symmetry in both addresses.
In essence, de Mattei conveyed the entirely correct assertion that the Holy Mother Church cannot be fanciful and change belief and teaching to satisfy any particular moment in time - very poignant at this moment as we approach the second sitting of the Synod on the Family.
As mentioned, I hope that somewhere a transcript will appear.
On Friday a requiem for Michael Davies was celebrated by Fr Tim Finigan in the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory, Warwick Street.
The Mass was accompanied with music by Cantus Magnus, under the direction of Matthew Schellhorn, (who incidentally as of yesterday became a co-opted member of the LMS committee).
After Mass, the address was also been given by de Mattei on the occasion of the Michael Davies Memorial Lecture. The Lecture was chaired by Adrian Davies, Michael's son.
His lecture was entitled 'From the Second Vatican Council to the Synod: The Teaching of Michael Davies'. Over at Rorate Caeli, the lecture has been captured, you can read it here.
