Catholic Westminster Plays With Olympic Torch

Edit: Linen on the Hedgrow asks what part the Magic Circle Bishops of England played in the Olympics. We suggest at least a humble part as evidenced by these photos of torch passing at Westminster Cathedral recently.

Crescat also called it "the Ceremony that must not be named".

Maximus Meyer compares it to Isengard, and Father Z expresses his displeasure by citing a writer from catholic.vote suggesting that the English have decided they are no longer hobbits, but orcs.

Max Meyer's retelling of the poem "And did those feet in ancient time" goes:


The Satanic mills & demonic foundries of England... 
O Jerusalem, how vast and treacherous the distance betweenProud Albion and your gates of pearly sheen!


At Westminster Cathedral, Archbishop Vincent Nichols presided over a Mass where the Olympic Torch preceded the crucifix to the altar.
