Archbishop Nichols of Westmin- ster (above), who was in Glasgow on Tuesday for the annual meeting of the presidents and vice-presidents of the Bishops’ Conferences of England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland, said he is ‘deeply moved’ by Pope Francis’ announcement that he will be created a cardinal at the Vatican next month. Following the announcement, Archbishop Tartaglia, president of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, said: “On behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, I warmly congratulate Archbishop Vincent Priests a priority for new bishop Nichols on being named a cardinal by Pope Francis.” Archbishop Nichols is one of 19 new cardinals who will be appointed I at the next Consistory of Cardinals, Newly installed Bishop Robson of Dunkeld plans to help over-stretched clergy which will take place at the Vatican By Ian Dunn vocations to the priesthood and religious life.” Bishop Emeritus Vincent Logan (left) hands over the on February 22. bishop’s crosier to the new Bishop of Dunkeld, Stephen Robson, (right), during his installation Mass at St Andrew’s The Holy Father made the Hopes THE new Bishop of Dunkeld says his ‘first pri- Cathedral, Dundee PIC: PAUL McSHERRY announcement at the end of his ority’ is to help the over-stretched priests of his In a witty and good-natured address on the joyful Angelus message at St Peter’s diocese. evening, Bishop Robson also said he was looking for- Square on Sunday.

However, Mass will be celebrated but without a congregation. Sadly the new government measures mean our churches have to be closed. The reason is that the virus could be spread via surfaces in the church into which consecutive people come into contact even if they are not there at the same time, and also there is the possibility of people gathering informally for prayer together which seems a good idea at first sight but would actually be an opportunity to spread the virus.

In a second speech the same day, the Pope also told the Council of Europe that human trafficking was the new slavery of our age, depriving its victims of all dignity. The Holy Father was speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg during a brief visit meant to highlight his vision for Europe a quarter-century after St John Paul II travelled there to address a continent still divided by the Iron Curtain. “Despite talk of human rights, too many people are treated as objects in Europe: unborn, terminally ill, and the elderly,” the Pope told MEPs. “We’re too tempted to throwaway lives we don’t see as ‘useful.’ Upholding the dignity of the person means acknowledging the value of the gift of human life.” He said that ‘killing [children]… before they’re born is the great mistake that happens when technology is allowed to take over’ and is ‘the Pope Francis shakes hands with Martin Schulz, inevitable consequence of a throwaway culture.’ president of the European Parliament, while visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg I Continued on page 6 Galloway’s bishop-elect in prayer call I Fr William Nolan, ‘gobsmacked’ over Pope Francis’ appointment, asks for parishioners to pray for him By Ian Dunn seeds of Faith so long ago,” The new bishop added that his experience in many pastoral situations, He said he was glad that his ordination parishioners were delighted for him.

    Gavin Douglas Was Born to Be Conservative. Embedded in Feudalism and the Pre Counter Reformation Church He Was Not the Kind of Person to Cause a Ripple in History

    12 TWO ASPECTS OF GAVIN DOUGLASO Gavin Douglas was born to be conservative. Embedded in feudalism and the pre Counter Reformation church he was not the kind of person to cause a ripple in history. Literature gave him his fame. There single handed with his translation of Vergil's Aeneid he brought Scotland into the Renaissance. History robbed him of the influence he might have had. The manuscripts of his Aeneid were put away and forgotten, and by the time they were brought to light his language had become obsolete, so now a not infrequent response to the mention of his name is 'Who's he?'. 'He' was two years younger than James IV and finished his Aeneid translation in 1513, the same year as Flodden. Flodden was especially tragic because it came at a time when the nobles, of whom so many fell, were still very important to Scotland. In England and France feudalism might be looking at the beginning of the end because substitution of money for service was making barons no longer indispensable, but in Scotland not only was Lowland feudalism influenced by Highland clan ideals but the continual succession to the throne of minors had nobles playing an indispensable if not always concerted part in government. When Gavin Douglas was a boy feudalism was fighting fit. James III was the king who upset the nobles by preferring the company of a group of commoners to theirs. He more than upset them when he conferred a title on his architect friend Cochrane. Cochrane not only upgraded his attire and took to going round with a small entourage, which after all was only airs and graces, but he also interposed himself between the king and petitioners.

A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass.

The Archbishop spoke of the gifts of life and love and the great joy which the births of John the Baptist and Jesus brought to the world.

Like so much, this time (i.e. Easter, Pentecost) has been snatched from us, with the whole of life seemingly concentrating on the Coronavirus and its influence on us, even to the point of death itself. What is asked of us and the Christian is summarised by the expression “to live in the Spirit”. What the Spirit brings is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. That can seem little more than a vague platitude but St Paul in attempting to specify this living in the Spirit gave us in his letter to the Galatians Chap 5 v22, a list of how we live and act in the Spirit. At the time when we were preparing for a new millennium Pope John XXIII dedicated each year to a person of the Trinity with the year of the Holy Spirit prayer to accompany it. It is still very suitable for us at this time “Father pour out your Spirit upon your people and grant us a new vision of your glory, a new experience of your power, a new faithfulness to your Word, a new consecration to your service and grant that your love may grow among us and your Kingdom come!”.

    Church and Community in Later Medieval Glasgow: an Introductory Essay*

    Church and Community in Later Medieval Glasgow: An Introductory Essay* by John Nelson MINER** Later medieval Glasgow has not yet found its place in urban history, mainly because most writers have concentrated on the modern, industrial period and those historians who have devoted attention to the pre-industrial city have failed to reach any consensus as to the extent of its modest expansion in the period circa 1450 to 1550 or the reasons behind it. In this study, the specific point is made that it is the ecclesiastical structure of Glasgow that will best serve towards an appreciation of the total urban community. This central point has not so far been developed even in the use of the published sources, which have to be looked at afresh in the above context. L'histoire urbaine ne s'est pas jusqu'ii maintenant penchee sur Ia situation de Glasgow au bas moyen age; en effet, Ia plupart des travaux s'interessent avant tout au Glasgow industriel et les historiens qui ont etudie Ia ville preindustrielle n' ont pu s' entendre sur l'ampleur et les raisons de sa modeste expansion entre 1450 et 1550 environ. Nous af­ firmons ici que ce sont les structures ecc/esiastiques presentes ii Glasgow qui autorisent /'evaluation Ia plus juste de Ia collectivite urbaine dans son ensemble. Cette dimension pri­ mordiale n'a pas meme ete degagee du materiel contenu dans les sources imprimees, qu'il faut reexaminer en consequence. Modem Glasgow reveals as little of its medieval past to the visitor as it does to its own inhabitants.

From Historical and Statistical Account Of Dunfermline By Rev. Peter Chalmers Vol. I P.176- In Steven‟s History of the ancient Abbeys, Monasteries, &c. of England, vol. i. fol. 1722, there is a Life of St Benedict, and an account of that order, and its rules, from which it appears that there were connected with the order as members of it, not less than 48 popes from St Boniface IV to Gregory XII inclusive; 11 emperors, who resigned their dignity, and became of the order of St Benedict, from the year 725 to 1039; 9 empresses; 10 queens, one of whom was Maud, Queen of England, grandchild of Malcolm Canmore; 20 kings (besides 11 others, an emperors, who submitted to the rule); 8 princes, sons of do; 15 dukes of Venice, Italy &c.; 13 earls, besides many other persons of different ranks. There are inserted in the column also two bulls in favour of the order, one by Pope Gregory, and the other, its confirmation by Pope Zachary I. 2 The monastery of Dunfermline is generally thought to have been ony a Priory till the reign of David I, and to have been raised by him to the rank of an Abbey, on the occasion of his bringing thirteen monks from Canterbury; which, on the supposition of the previous occupants being Culdees, was intended to reconcile them to the new order of things.
