A few short quips tonight .... 

I didn're realize that National Review had an article about the Black Legend back in June. Here it is: The Real Inquisition - Investigating the popular myth.

Personal notes:

I am going to be staying in London for two weeks for work. My wife will make it for one of the weekends while I am there. I have asked the question on DCF about what places Catholics shouldn't miss. Here is the short list so far:

London Oratory Church
"This flamboyant Italianate church is a monument to the English Catholic revival of the late-19th century. The Brompton Oratory was established by John Henry Newman, who was later to become Cardinal Newman." - (source)

As a Cardinal Newman fan myself, I figure this needs to be on the short list of places I visit.
Tyburn Covent
Home of the Tyburn Tree which is where many criminals were executed in England over the centuries. From the website: "More than 350 Catholic Martyrs [who] witnessed to their faith by dying for it" here.
On my own I figured out that I would be close to Westminster Cathedral which offers a daily mass that I should be able to attend. I noticed also that there will be a concert on one of the nights that I am there so I am pretty sure I will be spending a great deal of time in church there.

If anyone who reads this has been to London and has any further suggestions, let me know.
