Men of Goodwill

Just as the Saviour declared that he had come to heal the healthy and not the sick, so the minions of the sixteenth Daddy Goodspeak have been busy ensuring that his visit to the land of John Henry Newman, Mary Tudor and Tony Blair will not be unduly encumbered with sinners. The Birmingham Oratory has exiled three of its clergymen who asked for help over an "intense but physically chaste" relationshop between the head of the Oratory and a young man. A charitable spokesbeing has lovingly accused them of "pride, anger, disobedience, disunity, nastiness, dissension, the breakdown of charity", which it would be wholly uncharitable to suggest is the Vatican equivalent of the Metropolitan Police's he was an alcoholic who downloaded child porn and ordained women priests and he died in a hail of anarchist bottles without having been in contact with officers. The Birmingham Oratory was founded by Newman, and the sixteenth Daddy Goodspeak intends to petition his invisible friend there after authorising the somewhat dead cardinal to intercede with the Almighty on behalf of those who ask nicely.
