I was really trying to draw attention to the fact that the portable altar as used by Fr Hugh Green must have been far from 'portable'. It is large, heavy and cumbersome. You are undertaking great work in creating your altars.

I built my first portable altar at the request of a holy, hard-working traditional priest, to house the sacred altar stone from a chapel in the Cristeros era. He knows the Church is undergoing its Passion and he too may be asked to sacrifice his life for the sake of the definition of marriage. I custom build each altar painstakingly by hand with over 52 pieces of wood, assuring there are no blemishes or weaknesses. My altars are just as "ultimate" as the antique altar of Fr. Hugh Green - built with the same reverence and purpose and I fear they will be used in much the same way as they were in the 16th century. They are made to be as beautiful and durable as possible since they are made for the Glory of God. 90% of the altars I build have altar stones - which tells me a lot about the priests who are requesting them. Perhaps you might be interested in one for the same reasons?St. Joseph's Apprenticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880260921057763737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-49107906771772590642014-05-22T09:12:30.588+01:002014-05-22T09:12:30.588+01:00That's fine Joe but why have they not used thi...That's fine Joe but why have they not used this beacon of Catholic recusancy as a rallying point?
