Saunders Lewis - Honorary Doctorate/Demand For Latin Mass

Honorary Doctorate/Demand For Latin Mass

In March 1983, at the age of 89, Saunders Lewis was made an honorary Doctor of Letters of the University of Wales at a ceremony specially conducted at his home in Penarth. The Catholic Herald, reporting the honour, noted that in the previous year Lewis had made a plea for Mass to be said in Latin in Wales rather than in the "foreign language of English", which he pointed out was "a later arrival".

Famous quotes containing the words demand, latin and/or mass:

    The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    She’s a Latin from Manhattan.
    Al Dubin (1891–1945)

    Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.
    Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
