If it were my diocese I'd be asking pointed questions about the need for two communications specialists, and the cost. It gives the impression of empire-building. Mind you, in that respect it ain't a patch on Ecclestone Square.
ReplyDeleteNote the ad asks not to send a Catholic Voice, which is a tad unfair seeing as the successful applicant only needs a general understanding of social and moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
ReplyDeleteSuch a person would be well in tune with the hierarchy.
As for you, leave it alone. You'd need sectioning within the week.
How'd you fancy a jobshare?
ReplyDeleteYes, you and me Paul. It's the dream ticket. There's no way they'd let go of an opportunity like this in hiring two for the price of one.

It wouldn't hurt to try, fill in the app and get your name on the map!
Mind you, you might not be able to be 'you' then. You would have to use corporate speeeeeeeeeeeek! Your songs would be confiscated for starters. However, the van might get off road parking????
Do go for it, you two. Please, please, PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteDo you even have a degree?
ReplyDeleteYes, my degree is in politics, 2:1 from Liverpool Uni.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you too
If you couldn't get the job with the latin mass society doing their monthly newsletter, then you're hardly likely to get one with the Archdiocese of Westminster as Press Officer.You're too much of a loose canon for either the traditionalists or 'liberals'!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting assessment!
ReplyDeleteThere I was thinking I didn't get the jobs at the LMS because there were other candidates more suitable than me!

ReplyDeleteThat's fascinating at so many levels. It speaks volumes for the comfortable, unexamined assumptions of the Tablet tendency (not to mention the look-down-the-nose nastiness with which it is imbued).
I had hoped the vacancy was their need for a Catholic Archbishop!
ReplyDelete"You're too much of a loose canon for either the traditionalists or 'liberals'!"
ReplyDeleteA bit like Jesus then, without whom, the job wouldn't exist in the first place!!
No, Our Lord is definitely more traditional than all of us put together.
ReplyDeleteExcept lawrence would use the job to pursue his own agendas rather than represent the Diocese Archbishop. Read between the lines Lozza, I'm sure the LMS even thought you'd be a loose canon and too much of a liability.
ReplyDeleteI hope you applied for this Laurence??
