IT'S A bit rich the SPGB accusing the Catholic Church of secrecy. When I checked the SPGB website I found only an e-mail address for the Lancaster branch, one of only three in the north west and fifteen in the United Kingdom. My guess is the national membership of the SPGB is probably less than that of an average catholic parish. Publish your membership and office address Paddy like the churches do, what have you got to hide? The catholic church like other churches, publishes annual accounts, year books, Diocesan Directories, and numerous weekly parish publications. Incidentally the 'Secret Vatican Archives' and much more are published on the web at
