I have a dream about next Pope
Martin Luther King famously declared "I have a dream!". That dream was to unite black and white Americans as one equal family.
Well, I too have a dream. That whoever is elected the next Pope, will issue his first encyclical as follows: "That the distinction between Roman Catholic and Protestant be no more. For we are all Christians under God and thus, from this day forth, all Christians are welcome to take the sacraments at our churches."
It is sadly but a dream.
John Burrows, Humberstone.

Congratulations to the University of Leicester on its amazing discovery of the burial place of Richard III and the recovery of his skeleton.
As the remains are to be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral, I think the statue of Richard, which appears to be hiding in the trees and bushes in Castle Gardens, should be removed and re-sited within the new proposed Cathedral Precinct.
This I believe would add to the prestige of the area.
Ian Matthewman, Fleckney.
On discovering his remains:
Beneath a Leicester car park,
the site of an old Franciscan
cemetery
Bones bereft of order,
Surrendered to the clay,
Tell of Time's disorder,
After Friars Grey.
The corpse's course betrayed,
In now a parking lot,
No finery displayed,
No ticket for the spot.
So now our Yorkist King,
Of Bosworth's final test,
With troubadours to sing,
Is laid, at last to rest.
Oddly, Keyham.
So it's okay for Elizabeth Allison to feed her cat meat while preaching to the rest of us to go vegetarian?
Mike Shaw, Birstall.

“graydjames, did you mean to write "demoninations". Just made me laugh really.
I think you are being unfair to John Burrows saying he really mean is that Catholics should renounce their faith in favour of his. I do not read that at all. It is that the Roman Catholic church does not recognise any other form of communion or Eucharist other than the Mass.”

“Boy do I get mad when I see Protestants accusing the Catholic church of not reaching out to their Christian partners. In my experience, the Catholics encourage E***enical workship and regularly take part in it. What people like John Burrows really mean is that Catholics should renounce their faith in favour of his. It ain't going to happen and why should it.
The real problem when it comes to bringing the Christian demoninations closer is the extreme right wing Protestant faiths who refuse to mix with Catholics, won't attend E***enical services, and take the view that Catholics will not be saved.
I am yet to meet or hear any Catholic say the same of members of the Elim church or Prebyterian churches (for example - I mean not to single them out).”
