George Cornelius Gorham (1787–1857) was a Priest in the Church of England. His legal recourse to being denied a certain Post, decided subsequently by a Secular Court, caused great controversy.
George Cornelius Gorham was born on 21 August 1787 in St Neots, Huntingdonshire, to Mary (née Greame) and George James Gorham.[1]
Gorham’s views on Baptism had caused comment, particularly his contention that, by Baptism, infants do not become Members of Christ and The Children of God.[4]
The Bishop argued that Gorham’s Calvinistic view of Baptism made him unsuitable for the Post.[8]
Gorham appealed to the Ecclesiastical Court of Arches to compel the Bishop to institute him, but the Court confirmed the Bishop’s decision and awarded costs against Gorham.[9]
The Ecclesiastical Lawyer, Edward Lowth Badeley, a member of the Oxford Movement, appeared before the Committee to argue the Bishop’s cause, but the Committee (Knight Bruce, V-C dissenting)[11][12] eventually reversed the Bishop’s, and the Arches’, decision on 9 March 1850 and granted Gorham his institution.[13]
Phillpotts repudiated the judgment and threatened to Excommunicate the Archbishop of Canterbury and anyone who dared to institute Gorham.[14]
Fourteen prominent Anglicans, including Henry Edward Manning, requested that the Church of England repudiate the opinion that the Privy Council had expressed concerning Baptism.[15]
As there was not any response from the Church, apart from Phillpotts’ protestations, they quit the Church of England and joined The Catholic Church.
Gorham spent the rest of his life at his Post in Brampford Speke. As Vicar, Gorham restored the Church building, entirely rebuilding the Tower, for which Phillpotts gave some money.
He was an antiquary and botanist of some reputation, as well as the author of a number of pamphlets.[16] He died on 19 June 1857 in Brampford Speke.[17]
A native of Wladimir, in Volhynia (then Poland, now Ukraine), and belonging to a noble family, Josaphat Kuncewitcz embraced Monastic Life in The Order of Saint Basil. He always kept fresh the flower of his Chastity, which he had from his youth Consecrated to Mary.
Commissioned in spite of his early age to govern the Monastery of Bytene, he became shortly afterwards Archimandrite of Vilna and, lastly, very much against his wish, Archbishop of Polotzk, of The Ruthenian Rite.
The Apostolic zeal of the youthful Archbishop excited against him the hatred of Hell. Attacked at Vitebsk by the Schismatics, he was cruelly put to death in 1623, and obtained from God the conversion of his murderers.
The Order received approbation on 20 August 1631. Its Monks, Brothers, and Priests, work primarily with Ukrainian Catholics and are also present in other Greek-Catholic Churches in Central and Eastern Europe.
The opera was a success at its first performances, was frequently revived by Handel in his subsequent opera seasons, and is now one of the most often performed Baroque operas.
The opera’s plot is loosely based on historical events during the Roman Civil War of 49 B.C. — 45 B.C.
“Ombra mai fu” (“Never was a shade”), also known as “Largo from Xerxes” or “Handel’s Largo”, is the opening aria from the operaSerse (Xerxes) (1738) by George Frideric Handel.
The opera was a commercial failure, lasting only five performances in London after its premiere.
In the 19th-Century, however, the aria was re-discovered and became one of Handel’s best-known pieces.
(also known as “A Fistful of Dollars”) was performed
by Alessandro Alessandroni.
He was an Italian whistler and singer who contributed to many film scores, especially in the Spaghetti Western genre.
The film’s composer was Ennio Morricone, but the main theme was supplied by his friend Alessandro Alessandroni, who also played guitar on the soundtrack.
Alessandroni, who died aged ninety-two, was the expert whistler on several of film-maker Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns, notably on “A Fistful of Dollars”.

The Feast Of All Monks Of The Benedictine Order (O.S.B.).
13 November.
Double of The Second-Class.

Up to the end of the 16th-Century, there was no General Feast of this name for the whole Benedictine Order, since “The Order Of Saint Benedict”, in the modern sense, was unknown.
In individual Monasteries, as Monte Cassino, Cluny, Fontenelle, etc, a Feast of all the Saints proper to the Monastery was observed, on different dates; only by the Revision of The Monastic Breviary, by Pope Saint Paul V, in 1612, a General Feast of All Holy Monks of The Benedictine Order was instituted, on 13 November.
Mass: Gaudeámus omnes.
Epistle: Exhibeámus.
Gospel: Ecce nos relíquimus (from The Common of Abbots).
Creed: Is Said or Sung.
Preface: Of Saint Benedict (Page 19 in The Supplement For The Order Of Saint Benedict, contained within The Saint Andrew Daily Missal).

“O Valiant Hearts” is a Hymn remembering
The Fallen of the First World War.
It often features prominently in annual Remembrance Day Services in The United Kingdom and
The British Commonwealth.
Words were taken from a poem by Sir John Stanhope Arkwright (1872–1954), published in “The Supreme Sacrifice”, and other Poems in “Time of War” (1919).
It was set to music by the Rev. Dr. Charles Harris (1865-1936), who was Vicar of Colwall, Herefordshire, 1909-1929.
It is to his tune, referred to as “Harris”, or, sometimes, “The Supreme Sacrifice”, that the Hymn is now almost always sung.
The ninetieth anniversary of The Menin Gate, Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The Menin Gate commemorates over 54,000 missing soldiers from The Ypres Salient.
During this Hymn, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission let 20,000 Poppy Petals flutter down.
O Valiant Hearts, who to your glory came,
Through dust of conflict and through battle flame,
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.
Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to War,
As who had heard God’s message from afar,
All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave,
To save mankind — yourselves you scorned to save.
Splendid you passed, the great surrender made,
Into the light that nevermore shall fade,
Deep your contentment in that Blest abode,
Who wait the last clear trumpet call of God.
These were His servants, in His steps they trod,
Following through death the martyred Son of God,
Victor, He rose; victorious too shall rise,
They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice.
O Risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead,
Whose Cross has bought them and Whose Staff has led,
In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land,
Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.
NYCOS Belgium perform “O Valiant Hearts”
as part of the Passchendaele Centenary Commemoration.

Saint Didacus.
Confessor.
Feast Day 13 November.
Semi-Double.
White Vestments.
Born in Spain about 1400, Saint Didacus gave up all he possessed (Gospel, Communion) and entered, as a Lay-Brother, The Franciscan Monastery at Arrizafa. He devoted himself especially in contemplation, and was favoured by God by such wonderful light that he spoke of Heavenly things in an almost Divine way.
His ardent desire for Martyrdom, while he was in the Canary Isles, was partly satisfied by all manner of tribulations (Epistle). He returned to Rome in the year of The Jubilee, under the Pontificate of Pope Nicholas V, and was put in charge of The Sick at the Convent of Ara Cæli.
He practised so much Charity that, in spite of the scarcity which desolated the City, those who were committed to his care never wanted the necessities of life. The Passion of Jesus was the ordinary subject of his Meditations and Prayers.
Feeling that his end was near, and clothed only in an old torn Habit, with his eyes fixed on The Cross, he uttered the words of the Sacred Hymn: "Wood and Nails, full of sweetness, ye bear the sweetest of loads; how great your glory, since you have been judged worthy to bear The King of Heaven."
He piously gave up his Soul to God at Alcala de Henares in 1463,
