MAB Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I found this extraordinary story on the BBC news website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37814444 Read earlier this week that the Catholic church has banned the scattering of ashes on the grounds it is 'new age', perhaps this story indicates there is a time and a place for everything. Mind you, I've met some pretty bonkers opera fans over the years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I found this extraordinary story on the BBC news website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37814444 Read earlier this week that the Catholic church has banned the scattering of ashes on the grounds it is 'new age', perhaps this story indicates there is a time and a place for everything. Mind you, I've met some pretty bonkers opera fans over the years, Sorry MAB, I just reported this story on audience behaviour. I didn't realise you had got there/here before me!It is an extraordinary story as you say, even by current standards.
