Richard III - the non Catholics just don't get it

Please may we have our Abbey back?

The tussle over where the remains of King Richard III are to be buried rattles on with suggestions that he should be received and re-interred at York Cathedral, Leicester Cathedral or Westminster Abbey.

This is a Catholic King we are talking about and whilst, all of the above mentioned churches were once Catholic, they are Catholic no longer.

Not to labour the point but they are all Protestant and, whichever way you package it, that means that they are heretical - not in communion with the one true Church, in fact, very much out of communion with the OTC.

The letters pages in today's Daily Telegraph carry yet another venue that is totally inappropriate:-

Sir - I too am a descendant of Edward IV, (well you should know better, then) via his daughter Elizabeth of York and her marriage to Henry Tudor.
Would the Queen consider allowing Richard III's remains to be interred in St George's Chapel, Windsor, where his brother, Edward lies?
Elizabeth Bembridge

Well Mrs Bembridge, perhaps a solution to this problem would be for the Protestant Church to return one or all of the Cathedrals and Chapels that were stolen from the Catholic Church.

Then, King Richard could be buried in York, Westminster, Windsor, Chipping Sodbury or, anywhere, for that matter, that was of the same Faith as him.
