A Catholic schism over women deacons? Many opponents have already left.

A Catholic schism over women deacons? Many opponents have already left.

(RNS) — The Catholic Church’s latest objection to restoring women to the ordained diaconate is that it will cause a schism. News flash: There already is one. In fact, there have been many schisms, and there will be more. There is no need to reach back to the Great Schism of 1054, between the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, or to the schisms of the Protestant Reformation, or even the 16th-century English Reformation, which resulted in the Anglican Communion.

Their new bishops — four for SSPX and one for F.SS.R. — will join a …

After his first collection was shown at London Fashion Week in 2004, he was named best new designer at that year’s British Fashion Awards. Recently, alongside making pieces for clients and working as the creative director of James Purdey & Sons, which makes bespoke guns and clothing for field sports, he has collaborated with interior design companies such as Peter Reed and Sanderson. Giles, 56, who is in a relationship with the actress Gwendoline Christie, divides his time between his home in Islington, north London, and his apartments in Paris and Italy. “I’m far more seduced by longevity than novelty.” A luxury night out is less about spectacle and more about atmosphere: candlelight, impeccable conversation and a table that feels discreet rather than seen; the right music, and the luxury of not checking the time. My favourite luxurious meal is something deceptively simple but executed perfectly – wild turbot or a beautifully roasted …
