Pope Leo dealt robustly with SSPX following its recent unauthorised consecration of bishops: prompt excommunication. Why is suitable disciplinary action not being taken against CEEC and others responsible for irregular ('alternative') ordinations within the Church of England? #CofEPeeps

Is anyone up for publishing a field guide to sedevacantists and other ultra-conservative Roman Catholic groups? I notice that the SSPX is once again on a schismatic collision course with the papacy. Maybe Catherine Pepinster would relish the task? Or Austen Ivereigh? #CofEPeeps

There have been two horrifying motorcyclist deaths in our area recently. The first was definitely a 'SMIDSY' (sorry, mate, I didn't see you). The inquest will be held in July. The police sergeant on site at the time informed me it was a crime scene: c.org/RCK7FDQpzC

The church I was forced out of in 2022 undertook very little in terms of community outreach until relatively recently. Now an outreach committee is organising a whole series of events. I feel sickened that local people are at risk of being drawn into its unsafe, uncaring, toxic culture. #CofEPeeps
I received the following today. This appallingly bad pun needs to be shared as widely as possible: #CofEpeeps
This is worth reading. ✝️ And thank you to @theosthinktank.bsky.social for taking this seriously to go and speak to people on the ground rather than making assumptions about who they are - it’s only by understanding what’s really going on that we can effectively respond.

Every post by Archbishop Sarah on social media is met by a foul tirade of misogynistic comments from traditionalist Roman Catholics and others. L They are getting steadily nastier. Such a contrast with the courteous behaviour towards her of the hierarchy. What can be done to stop it? #CofEPeeps
