Currently Parish Priest of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington he hit the blog headlines in 2010 when he threw out the Sunday Solemn Sung Latin Mass in favour of a Phillipino Folk version in Tagalog. He is obviously an avid follower of the Holy Father!
His name has been mentioned as a likely appointee for an Auxiliary Bishop post (sounds an ideal and well qualified candidate to me).
