Sunday, September 9
Every Liverpudlian calls it Paddy’s Wigwam or the Mersey Funnel or some such name, so any southerner who thinks it is clever and rude to do so massively misses the point: Liverpool Cathedral is a big construction with a funnel on top and it can pack in vast numbers of people for Mass and that’s that. It was filled to capacity twice this morning for the Eucharistic Congress, and after the second of these Masses we streamed out in a great procession, bearing the Blessed Sacrament through the streets.
