TSR Catholic Society

No, he was dressed down. Apparently (according to people who tend to know these things, like a chap whose father is a priest) he wouldn't be allowed to go if he wasn't.
I won't share the photos though (partly because it was not me who took them)

I've already said what I'm doing next year
Working at a Catholic youth retreat centre.

Arg! Sorry, I keep forgetting

Don't worry: I think I've asked Aula at least twice

It's fine, my priest asked again on Saturday, and he's asked at least twice and he wrote a reference

That's not his fault though! It's all the booze you've been feeding him :

I don't feed him booze, he does that perfectly well himself

Just to ask a totally random question, are you, and the other members of your Cath Soc, members of the Christian Union. I'm just curious because obviously we have separate society when all the other Christian groups appear to stand under the united banner and also because many of the Catholics I've seen aren't members and, also, it seems to appear that some have a tiny whiff of anti Catholicism about them.

BTW This question is open to anyone who's in uni or has been to uni.

No. Definitely not a member of DICCU. We've had issues with them. Individually there are some lovely people there, but yes, they definitely have a 'whiff of anti Catholicism about them'

Just out of the purest of curiosity what sort of issues?

Sorry with all the questions, I just don't want to sign up to the CU at the Freshers fare and for them to kick me out for whipping out my Rosary beads

Tbh I don't want to badmouth them, because I've been doing too much of that about people lately. You should probably wait and see for yourself. And if you do sign up and they kick you out for whipping out your Rosary beads, then they're clearly not the place for you.

I would strongly recommend looking at going somewhere with a strong Catholic Society, but if there isn't one, then you can be instrumental in setting one up, or at least strengthening what's there.

Very wise advice there I probably won't join the CU, they seem a little 'happy clappy' from what I've read and, like I said, I find it pretty insulting they've left the Catholic Cathedral off their list of churches they'll take their members to.

The uni I've got an (essentially) guaranteed place at, Dundee, has, roughly, 20 members according to the priest who I've emailed, they're quite a traditional parish he said ( ), it's cathedral worship and he said he's quite new (only been in the job 4 months) so he's hoping to 'build' and any help he gets would be brilliant. Is 20 a biggish number or a smallish one (he said it was split roughly 50/50 male and females)?

EDIT: Someone seems to have begged you, how mean spirited of them

Also, I still reckon I could go somewhere better than Dundee, so it may be Aberdeen or St. Andrews yet.
