<p>I don't like passing on rumours, as you know, but there are reports that Pope Benedict XVI is annoyed by the absence of a single bishop at the big Mass celebrated by Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/VirtualContent/85688/westminster19.jpg" alt="Westminster Cathedral" height="200" width="400"><br><b>Westminster Cathedral: no bishops deigned to attend the Mass</b></p><p>Consider the facts. At the end of last year, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor opened up the throne room of Archbishop's House so that the liberal Archbishop Piero Marini could launch a book <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/ukcorrespondents/holysmoke/jan08/marinibooktourcancelled.htm" title="Holy Smoke" target="_blank">containing a coded attack</a> on the Pope's liturgical reforms. The party was packed with "magic circle" bishops, monsignori and Tabletistas, all gushing away like crazy.</p>
