Oh! My new bishop is going to be enthroned on Saturday, and I get to sing in the choir!
Is he sound?
A friend of mine is being Ordained on Friday
Yes, despite being a Jesuit.
I can't make the Ordination, so I'm going to his first mass on Saturday
Good for him!
Indeed
Pretty sound guy
Hey that's really cool
Is he a diocesan priest or with a society?
Or order?
oratorian
I'm still quite new to this busiess
so I don't quite know what that would fall under
Ah, Oratory of St Philip Neri?
Uh huh
My confirmation saint, no less
I do like the Oratory
Jesuit bants is on a high at the pub.
And there's a Dominican college 10 paces down the way
Yes, well, nobody really knows what the Oratory falls under. Not even the Oratory priests themselves are too sure.
The Church has them officially recognised as a “community of secular priests”.
Interdasting
I’m an Oratorian lay brother myself, so I’m always very excited to talk about them.
Hence the Fr Faber profile picture.
I'm just a guy who got baptised two months ago
With the Oratory?
Yep
Ah, which one?
Didn't really know anything else at the time.
The one in Oxford.
Welcome aboard the One True Church!
Ah! I’m at the London Oratory!
Yes, well, do stay with the Oratory. They are a superb bunch.
Do you know Gabriel from /rel/ per chance? I think he goes to an Oratory quite a lot.
I’m not very active in rel anymore.
Ah.
Not missing much these days, tbh
Certain members can be rather unsavoury, but we shan’t talk about that.
Wasn't /rel/ banned?
It's sort of back
