For those following the series, Week 3 of ‘Rural Restoration’ was pulled from the Sunday Times by then editor, Frank Fitzgibbon, who departed the paper in 2020.
Thanks. It’s funny to read of a French woman talking about French Catholicism this way. I rediscovered my faith living in France. The south’s churches are packed out (all mainly Old Rite services) with families, amazing cathechism and people pour into the streets after mass. In Nice where I lived there were maybe a dozen packed out churches every Sunday of which half were Old Rite and full of you g people all wearing veils. Where I bought mine! I was devastated to leave and have never found anything since.
Would you believe me Louise,if I told you,I had been trying to remember the words of this prayer only today and then I read this substack❤️.That’s not a coincidence.God bless you.

Wow! Sounds beautiful!
It's true too, when I was in Cassis for a few days Mass was packed on Sunday. Lovely to see it.
But no mass on weekdays and church locked up.
I've a feeling perhaps she's upset because of the change to abortion laws in France, enshrining the right to abortion in the constitution.
There's a great Latin mass in Limerick if that's close by. A French order!
I wish! I’m in the UK! 😩
I agree about the lack of an editor on Substack and other platforms. It can lead to excessively-long articles or podcasts. (Not here thankfully.)
The best answer I can think of is to 'murder your darlings', or know where the 'delete' button is on your keyboard!
It's definitely a thing Jim!
That and a different perspective, an independent eye, just to keep one on track. Also, out of court :)
Hope you're keeping well!
