And this Church is where?
This makes me wish I could live in London. Long live the King.
Do you know if a video of this will be made? Could you make one yourself and put it on YouTube or something like that?
i hope he is made a saint someday.
Yes, there'll be a video.
The Church is at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in St John's Wood, North London.
Nearest tube: St John's Wood on the Jubliee Line.
Regrettably the video had to be cancelled at the request of the clergy but photos will shortly be available at http://www.traditionalcatholic.org.uk
Fascinating post.
Wonderful to see the Cardinal Duke of York remembered on the bicentenary of his death.
I wish I could have been there.
As a young man, I used to live near Frascati, and occasionally drink to the memory of "the king over the water" in the wine of the country.
Father Nicholas posted some magnificent photos of the chapel and the catafalque.
I wonder what they will do with that cardinal's galero.
Many thanks for the post. It must have been a quite splendid occasion.
But I think I would have found it rather poignant.
Dear Dr Peter,
Yes, it was an astounding occasion!
The galero was specially made by Fr Bede Rowe PP of St George's, Warminster and he has taken it back to hang in his Church.
The link to photos will be posted on this site soon!
Tribunus, many thanks for your reply.
Yes, Father Nicholas has posted a link to the very fine photos taken by Vernon Quaintance.
I am lost in admiration at Fr. Bede Rowe's ability to make a galero.
I can't think why the cardinal's galero was ever abolished.
I think Cardinal Heenan would have been the last Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster to have received the galero in a consistory, circa 1965.
I imagine it still hangs over his tomb in Westminster Cathedral
(unless they've abolished that custom too).
Well, it was nice to see Pope Benedict wearing the papal galero.
All is not lost.
Many thanks for your blog.
It is hugely enjoyable (and educational).
Peter H.W.
Thanks!
Yes, the galero is still over Cardinal Heenan's tomb....
....AND Cardinal Hume insisted on one over his tomb, too!
Funny that - given that they had been "abolished"!
One rule for some, another for others!
Still, it's all back now.
No video alas (sorry, Archbishop 10-k). The bishop was too shy!
He ceased being Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia and Velletri when he became Cardinal-Bishop of Frascati. For that reason I suggest that both titles should not be displayed unless all his other cardinatial titles (Cardinal Deacon of S. Maria in Portico, Cardinal Priest of S. Maria in Portico, Cardinal Priest of Ss. XII Apostoli, Cardinal Priest of S. Lorenzo in Damaso) were also displayed.
Dear anonymous,
All the authorities that I have read state that Henry was named Cardinal-Bishop with the title of Frascati, July 13, 1761. On January 24, 1763, he was named Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, an office he held until his death.
On September 26, 1803, Henry was named Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia and Velletri and he continued to reside in the episcopal palace at Frascati. It was there that he died, July 13, 1807.
He thus retained Ostia until his death and, seemingly, Frascati.
This is not impossible: Cardinal Sodano today holds both Ostia and Albano, another Suburbicarian See.
However, if you have better information, I'd be glad to see it.
Dear Tribunus
The reason that Cardinal Sodano holds two titles is that the see of Ostia is conferred on the Dean of the College of Cardinals in addition to his other see. In Sodano's case his original see is Albano.
On 26 September 1803 Giuseppe Maria Cardinal Doria Pamphilj was appointed Cardinal Bishop of Frascati. Cardinal Stuart must, therefore, have relinquished the title even if he continued to live there until his death.
Dear anon,
OK fine but that wasn't what you said. You said he relinquished Ostia and Velletri whereas he kept it until his death.
He was also Dean of the Sacred College, by the way. That's why he was given Ostia.
He is famously know for his associations with Frascati so I think a bit of leeway can be given to including that title without having to list every title he ever held.
