>> ahhh... i see what you mean: if the BVM is the default dedication for all
the houses, there is no room for any other?
> EXACTLY. Bernie, having lost his own ma at a very sensitive age was
positively hung up on the BVM - in the nicest possible way!
well, nice or not, re his mommie (this is a Family List, after all), it seems
to me that getting hung up in the deep, deep weeds of Bernie's hang ups will
require some sort of miraculous intervenatory extrication and makes simple
wrong-tree up-barking look like a Productive Exercise.
nonetheless, the idea of a default dedication of all the abbeys to the BVM,
thus sucking all the oxygen out of any possible dedication to the H.C. (or
anything/one else) sounds like a good one, to me.
