Who is this Monsignor Curry? He of the prodding finger and loud tone


 
James Paul Curry was born on 1st June 1960 and ordained in 1986. His occupations are listed as reading, cinema, walking and opera.

A modest little building - The Athenaeum
His club is The Athenaeum in London and, as well as toiling in the fields of the Lords in parishes such as Chiswick and Notting Hill he has been private secretary to Cardinals Hume and Murphy O'Connor.



Currently Parish Priest of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington he hit the blog headlines in 2010 when he threw out the Sunday Solemn Sung Latin Mass in favour of a Phillipino Folk version in Tagalog. He is obviously an avid follower of the Holy Father!
His name has been mentioned as a likely appointee for an Auxiliary  Bishop post (sounds an ideal and
well qualified candidate to me).

Sybaritic? Certainly opulent!

  Really not too sure about The Athenaeum Club though. Are priests meant to join such sybaritic establishments?
