Your Holiness,
I would like to express my deep sadness that the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales is not celebrating Corpus Christi today.


I sincerely hope that you will consider reinstating the Holy Days of obligation, especially Corpus Christi and Ascension Day to their rightful days. I feel a sense of emptiness and rage that I cannot today celebrate this most import_ant feast in the Church.
I would love to be part of a traditional procession to manifest my faith, especially in view of all the recent attacks against the Catholic Church. We must be brave and go out into the world and not be seen to be ashamed of being Roman Catholics.
Your sincerely
Andrzej Tutkaj
