Recently I discovered that Father Alfred Hope Patten, the restorer of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, prophesied the formation of the Continuing Church years before it happened: 'I am more and more coming to the opinion that Catholics in communion with Canterbury must consider the example of the Wee Frees of the Scots - the day cannot be far off when some of us will have to go out into the desert - and there prove our catholicity - after which perhaps a united body may be formed as a link.'
