Gateshead Revisited

Product Information

As you look across the townscape, what really strikes you is the way the structures and shadows of these bridges appear to coalesce. They really are a remarkable sight and the first five have long been a memorable gateway to Newcastle, a city endowed with one of the great Victorian stations and a noble centre. Even the first bridge across the Tyne was probably an impressive achievement: the Pons Aelius was commissioned by the Emperor Hadrian in AD120, an inspired architect as well as a soldier. the focus of decisions should be on whether a proposed development is an acceptable land use, rather than focusing on the control of emissions which are the subject of separate pollution control regimes. [It] should be assumed that such other regimes will operate effectively

The church was so full of love and affection for him you could literally feel it. May the Lord take special care of him.

St Mary's Church, Bishophill Junior, York

Not having been born British this might be a cultural difference, but I do not see the significance of individual parishes/churches in the sense Rachel's comment conveys. On any given week I go to 4 different churches. I have been asked to read in two. I am inscribed at one, but all 4 are "mine". As are the ones I go to in my native Eastern European country, or when visiting family in France or Ireland. I mean, one of the greatest things about being a Catholic is that Mass is Mass everywhere and you meet the Lord in Holy Communion in every Mass. Second, Gateshead is not a principle of blind faith. The Panel’s decision needs to be understood in context. All accepted that carbon emissions were a material planning consideration. The Panel noted that the consequence of granting permission was that it would make it more difficult to comply with the net zero duty. However, on the evidence before it, the “comparative magnitude of the increase [in emissions] was limited”. The Gateshead principle is highly fact sensitive. It might very well be rebutted and does not require a decision-maker to adopt a sanguine attitude towards the net zero strategy or the importance of reducing emissions. But the fact remains that that duty lies – as the Panel explained – elsewhere.

In the Church of our day, in which listening, welcoming, and inclusion inspire all pastoral action, and there is a desire to build ecclesial communion “with a synodal method,” this group of ordinary faithful, young families, and fervent priests has the confident hope that its voice will not be stifled but welcomed, listened to, and taken into due consideration. Those who go to the “Latin Mass” are not second-class believers, nor are they deviants to be re-educated or a burden to be gotten rid of. On the undulating Riverside Bowl course behind the International Stadium, Waitz finished eight seconds clear of Allison Wiley of the US. The unheralded Ethiopian Bekele Debele edged out Portugal’s future Olympic marathon champion Carlos Lopes in an epic mass sprint in the men’s race. Ground 3 challenged that reasoning. It argued – in essence – that it could not be assumed that the Secretary of State would comply with his net zero duty. The cultural quarter on Gateshead Quays will, of course, be the jewel in the crown of the regeneration. Yet Barford claims: “We didn’t start with the big picture for a cultural complex. We did it incrementally. The International Stadium in Gateshead, directly across the River Tyne from Newcastle in the north-east of England, last staged a one-day showpiece event in 2010. The Aviva British Grand Prix, one of the inaugural season Diamond League meetings, featured a UK debut by one of the all-time greats from halfway round the planet. New Zealand’s big shot Valerie Adams won the shot put with a heave of 20.06m.

What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden of even considered harmful” (Benedict XVI, Letter to the Bishops on the occasion of the publication of the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum). The growing hostility towards the traditional liturgy finds no justification on either a theological or pastoral level. The communities that celebrate the liturgy according to the 1962 Roman Missal are not rebels against the Church. On the contrary, blessed by steady growth in lay faithful and priestly vocations, they constitute an example of steadfast perseverance in Catholic faith and unity, in a world increasingly insensitive to the Gospel, and an ecclesial context increasingly yielding to disintegrating impulses. Whilst it is always sad if a church needs to be closed we must accept that the financial implications must weigh heavily on the diocese unless Catholics return to their Faith & provide for a church AND PRIESTS to serve the churches.
