1. Following his successful foray onto Twitter, Pope Benedict starts a new personal YouTube channel featuring Cardinal Deacons in liturgical dance to the top Bluegrass Gospel numbers. (With a Cardinal Priest to act as MC: Luis Tagle is tipped by Sandro Magister.)
2. Professor Richard Dawkins offers a considered and rational response to St Thomas Aquinas' De ente et essentia.
3. Bruvver Eccles is appointed Director of Communications for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.
4. Bara Brith takes up the ukelele to transform sacred music at Blackfen by playing "What a friend we have in Jesus" as a regular motet for the Offertory. (No point having just one bluegrass number in a fun post when you can have two.)
7. The Society of St Pius X decide to open the windows by publishing a three-part treatise by Fr Dr Dr Klaus Sterngrumpher on Modern Man in Search of an Intercultural Meaning in the World of Today.
8. The Tablet responds to its drop in circulation by appointing Richard Collins as editor with a brief to introduce a new column on comparative religion.
10. Gangnam dancing proves to be more than a silly passing fad.

Wonderful, Father! You have just cheered immensely a sick seminarian! Thank you and a Blessed New Year to you
LOL!
Happy New Year!
Simply having tea lights in rows of three like that seems very modernist. We would prefer a more flexible, organic arrangement. However if your friends need any help, I'm sure I can turn my hand to a little Latin. Albeit it would only be Chemistry terms.
However, thanks for remembering us and a Happy New Year.
Re #5
I will be happy to make the introductions. Having originally trained with the Archdruid and now serving with the Ordinariate I suspect I am better placed than most!
As far as the polyester chasubles, that sample is probably one of the most tasteful I've seen -- not that that says much!
Number 11. Peace will break out on th Catholic twittersphere.
They all have a better chance of happening than Obama finding Jesus.
I fear you are all too accurate in your predictions Father.
Much as I would have liked the challenge of getting The Tablet's circulation into double figures I have yet to complete my thesis on the works of Kier Hardie and I also have my role as Secretary to the Sidcup Scientology Society to consider.
Hopefully, in 2014.......?
Yeah, that chasuble is so meaningful, dude. I mean... the five fish-skeleton-fossil motif, it's like... sort of creation stuff, isn't it? Or the five fish and two loaves,y'know, like the aftermath of the feeding of the underpriviliged, when they suddenly found they could all, like, share their stuff and... like diss the whole capitalist vibe, man.
What? They're wheat? Oh right, cool.
Yeah.
