The Few, the Brave: Fr. Mark Morris with His Eminence, Cardinal Raymond Burke.

Fr. Mark Morris, a parish priest who promotes the Traditional Latin Mass and supports the homeless from his parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Glasgow, is being booted from his role as Catholic chaplain at Glasgow Caledonian University.

This is because, in response to the thousands who gathered with Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in Glasgow on Saturday, to take part in the annual ''Gay Pride'' event, Fr. Morris held a prayer service, which, in the words of the BBC report, sought ''reparation for the gross offence to God which is Pride Glasgow.''

The university has issued a statement suggesting that it is now working with the Archdiocese of Glasgow to find another chaplain for September.

The statement concludes: ''The university is strongly inclusive and committed to supporting equality and diversity on campus.''

Erm, unless, of course, you happen to be Fr. Mark Morris!

Ah, the wonders of natural logic...

It was Mark Twain who remarked that it was a curious fact that physical courage was so common, whilst moral courage was so rare.

Please say a prayer for Fr. Mark Morris. He has proved to the world that, even in these times, there are still Catholic priests. And courageous ones at that. May Our Lady keep him safe in Her Immaculate Heart. 

Immaculate Heart of Mary - pray for us!
