The Knights of Malta have just chosen another Englishman to succeed Fra. Andrew Bertie as Grand Master.
As I\’ve said before, Bertie was at Worth when I ws in the prep school there. Used to walk down to breakfast from his lodgings past the dorms, singing th Lord\’s Prayer in Arabic: always, but always, five minutes before the bell went. A wake up call if you like.
So that\’s two in a row from Ampleforth, one of them also had that connection to Worth.
Hmm, Downside next time around?
“singing th Lord’s Prayer in Arabic”
How do you know? Or was that just what he told you he was doing?
Tim adds: Well, that’s what others told me he was doing.
” Downside ” … papist hippies.
Apparently it is all a Zionist Freemason plot! Just ask al-Jazeera.
So clearly Downside is out of the Inner Circle of Illuminati and so will never produce a leader of the Knights of Malta.
English Grand Masters are like busses, you wait 900 years for one and two come along together.
Fra Matthew is a riot! I saw hin in Lourdes during the Order’s annual pilgrimage. His speech was funny and, I am told, pure “Matthew”. He dressed as a brancardier and moved around without fuss and, when I saw him, only one man in attendance.
