As thousands of people evacuate Rome over fear of tomorrow's predicted 'big one', Free the B3: Justice for Fr Fenlon looks back (with the benefit of hindsight) at another earthquake...
"Earthquake at the Birmingham Oratory: Fr Chavasse steps down as Provost and 'Actor' of the Newman Cause" by Damian Thompson - Daily Telegraph blogs - 15.12.2009
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100019970/earthquake-at-the-birmingham-oratory-fr-chavasse-steps-down-as-provost-and-actor-of-the-newman-cause/
The article opens with the question "what on earth is going on at the Birmingham Oratory?" and it outlines the changes taking place at the Oratory as per the newsletter.
The second paragraph is interesting. "Rumours of trouble at the Oratory have been vigorously circulated for months, and it’s no secret that there was a furious falling-out between the Oratory and its former press officer, Peter Jennings, who was also press officer to the then Archbishop of Birmingham, Vincent Nichols."
Peter Jennings, what this Peter Jennings?
Thompson goes on to ask two very pertinent questions followed by the remark "I'm sure Archbishop Nichols could tell us, though I don’t think he will."
Archbishop Nichols? Hang on, didn't Jack Valero tell us this was an internal matter?
As for the earthquake in Rome, well Raffaele Bendani's prediction for a quake in 1924 was 2 days out, so that would suggest tremors on 13th May...
3 Oratorians were ordered to "spend time in prayer" at 3 separate monasteries hundreds of miles apart and indefinitely. Of the 3, Fr. Dermot Fenlon (described by the Oratory's own spokesman as "entireley guiltless of any wrong doing whatsoever") remains silenced and in exile. This blog is an archive of publications about the scandal at Newman's Oratory. It aims to bring out the facts, of the great injustice suffered by the 3, particularly the cruel treatment of Fr. Dermot Fenlon.

Fr Paul Chavasse returns to the Birmingham Oratory
Mass of Thanksgiving for the Beatification of Blessed John Henry Newman.
http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2010/09/mass-of-thanksgiving-at-birmingham.html
The special Mass took place on the evening of Monday 20th September and was celebrated by Archbishop Bernard Longley with a number of Oratorians from the various English Oratories, including Fr Paul Chavasse.
Does this mean that Fr Dermot Fenlon, Fr Philip Cleevely and Br Lewis Berry will also be allowed to return to their home?
