Sorry to hear this! Nothing yet on the net as far as I can see! Father would you be so kind as to test my Blog:The Jarrow Scriptorium, I can't get your Papal Flag to fly!
Thanks,
Michael.
I was once told by 'the powers that be' to "Just cancel it." after securing the services of a curial cardinal to speak at a clergy gathering in England.
His Eminence was most gracious about the matter. His private secretary certainly wasn't.
It was good for my humility. I just don't get involved in organising things now.
I am not certain about the dates,but the Cardinal is engaged in a Canon Law Conference in late June in LaCrose, Wisconsin in the US. Someone may have double booked.

Rochester, MN USA
Yes, it is cancelled.
from the Catholic Herald site
Daphne McLeod, chairman of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, said that Cardinal Burke had been informed by “several devout and faithful people” that his speaking at the conference would be divisive because Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice “are too outspoken and don’t have respect for the bishops”.
“We’re whistle-blowers, and we have enemies,” she said.
