"one of England's most prestigious seminaries"

Is there a pecking order or league table as with universities?

Ushaw College could be considered the most prestigious seminary in England, in the sense that it has the grandest and most extensive buildings, including the the magnificent St Cuthbert's Chapel. At one time catered for 400 seminarians, which made it far bigger than any other seminery.

It also had a junior seminary attached to it which catered for 150 boys. The junior seminery closed in the 1960s, when the boys were transferred to Upholland. At the same time, the seminarians from Upholland were transferred to Ushaw.

What is it about some people that they must look for something to make petty comments. Why can't (some) people rejoice that the LMS, in particular Paul Waddington, is spending hours, weeks, months, of their time (unpaid) in order to put on a training course for priests that will benefit both the priests and laity. This is another great step forward in the restoration of the traditional liturgy and all some people can do is look for faults. These are the sort of people who go to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and then tell everyone that they spotted a small hairline crack in the frame. Why take issue with some innocuous wording in a press release when the message itself is what REALLY matters. I do find it extremely exasperating.

Discreet Observer: I was being facetious. Go and spray yourself with some WD40 and loosen up a bit.

shame the current Ushaw seminarians aren't allowed to be involved as part of their formataion. I asked some of the current staff who are less than happy for the semenarians to be involved in any way. Very Sad
