Catholic Trivia

Cardinal Newman is due to be reburied in the Birmingham Oratory, which he founded.
Oratory is prayer house, and the Birmingham Oratory emphasized beauty in worship and a British slant to Catholicism (at a time when most Catholics were Irish immigrants).

If the Birmingham Oratory sounds familiar, it might be the Tolkien link... Calley'sKitchenBlog tells of a visit to the site.
