GREAT HOST KNEELS IN UNITED PROTEST
A BISHOP’S MODERNISM BIRMINGHAM CATHOLICS By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright, LONDON, Tuesday. A spectacular protest against the modernism of the Anglican Bishop of Birmingham, Dr. E. W. Barnes, was made during mass by 2,000 Roman Catholics at St. Chads Cathedral, Birmingham. The protest had been arranged in consequence of attacks made by Dr. Barnes on the doctrine of the Real Presence.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Assus and auxiliary to the Archbishop of Birmingham, Dr. John P. Barrett, conducted the service, and the Cathedral was crowded with men who knelt bareheaded in the aisles and porches. The service was a strange contrast to the bank holiday doings elsewhere in the Birmingham area. Crowds of people outside the Cathedral broke through police cordons and knelt in the roadway to receive Dr. Barrett’s blessing after mass.—A. and N.Z.
