I have been muttering "tell that to the Duke of Norfolk" for several days now and it still makes me snort.
The very same Duke of Norfolk who heads the several pages long list of Catholic Nobility in my 1871 Catholic Directory. The list is immediately next to extracts from recent legislation concerning Roman Catholic inmates in workhouses, for priests to make use of when pursuing their pastoral duties. This, I suspect, has rather more relevance to the question of what my great-great-great-grandmother was doing in a convent, which is why I bought the book.
