Fr. John Hunwicke (R.I.P.).
Text and Illustration: NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT
By: Gregory Dipippo.
“As many readers know, he was a Priest of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham; his blog, Fr Hunwicke’s Mutual Enrichment, has long been an incomparably valuable repository of wisdom, wit and erudition, and we have very often highlighted his articles here on NLM over the years.
“Many of his Posts have been devoted to the defence of the authentic Liturgical Tradition of The Roman Rite, and the exposure of the scholarly impostures that underpinned its would-be replacement”.
Deus, qui inter apostolicos sacerdotes famulum tuum Joannem sacerdotali fecisti dignitate vigere: praesta quaesumus: ut eorum quoque perpetuo aggregetur consortio.
Per Christum, Dominum nostrum.
Amen.
God, Who, among the apostolic Priests, made Thy servant John to flourish with Priestly dignity; grant, we beseech Thee: that he may also be joined unto their perpetual society.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Thank you, Dom Zephyrinus, for this acknowledgment of the passing and our common loss of the earthly presence of the extraordinary Fr. Hunwicke. Like so many serious scholars and dedicated priests, Fr. Hunwicke contributed so much both on liturgical blog, and also through reposts of his contributions at Gregory DePippo’s “New Liturgical Movement.org.”
