During a half day break from the "DWM Training Course" we were blessed with a guided tour of Westminster Cathedral by the Kind Rector, Canon Christopher Tuckwell.
As a very young man I recall attending High Mass at the cathedral, celebrated by Cardinal Heenan. Though by then the novus ordo was well established, His Eminence retained the ad orientem manner of celebration, along with Roman style vestments. It was interesting to hear the Canon hint that this manner of celebrating the eucharist might one day be restored at the Cathdral. One can only hope so, especially as the current Holy Father is known to favour it.
