It was reported in the press, and in the Roman Catholic paper, The Universe, that the persons forming the Papal Mission from the Vatican to the Coronation in June, came as far as the precincts of the Abbey, but did not enter the Abbey for the Coronation service. They instead occupied a special place outside the annexe. In other words, they refused to enter a professed Protestant Church, they would take no part in a Protestant service even as part of the congregation. Behind this action on even such an occasion, was not merely that they represented the R.C. Church and the Pope, but that the persons concerned in the service were all heretics and the worship erroneous in the view of their Church. As to the Duke of Norfolk, the organiser of the Coronation arrangements, who is an ardent Roman Catholic, he must have received a special dispensation from the Pope to engage in heretical worship and activities, or else he is an independent-minded and modern R.C. who is not led by the priest in everything.
