Fr. Harrison's confession about confession....

With a veil-tip to Fr. Z on a post about a blogging priest in the UK who is about to celebrate Mass for the very first time in the extraordinary form, I found this cute gem from his recent postings.

My first weekend in Walney

I have enjoyed my first weekend in the parish of Saint Columba and Saint Patrick. It did get off to a strange start. I sat in the confessional at St Columba - it was very quiet, no-one availed themselves of the sacrament. After about 30 mins I realised I had not opened the church!

LOL! I'll add Fr. Harrison to my section for Blogging Priests so we can check in on his blog.

I present to you....Fr. Mildew

Yeah, you read it right. While younger and middle-aged Catholics are finding the spiritual benefits of traditional Catholicism, a retired priest on the other side of the pond in the UK has discovered the blogosphere.

We welcome Fr. Michael Clifton - who says that he is a retired Catholic priest of a traditional "mould". Hence, the name of his blog, "Fr. Mildew". You will be able to find it in the future, by going to the "Blogging Priests and Religious" section in my sidebar.

Some people wonder why priests would spend time on the internet blogging. Well, my personal thought is that the Holy Spirit is guiding them to use this medium to teach us the kind of truths we don't necessarily hear in every parish.

We wish you well Fr. Mildew and we will drop in to pay you a visit.

I pray that Our Lord and Our Lady guides each and every priest who blogs so that they may guide us.
