"The exhibition, which runs during the summer months of July and August, is traditionally opened with a procession to the nearby St. James church, led by the Archbishop of Westminster." Is this right? St James's Church is a Church of England church, whilst the Archbishop of Westminster is part of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Until relatively recent times, and certainly for most of the history of the Royal Academy, there was either no Roman Catholic hierarchy or such a hierarchy was not accepted by the British establishment (there was even a law against it - the Ecclesisatical Titles Act). So I find this assertion, which I have not heard before, somewhat implausible. Chelseaboy 18:11, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I smell bull poop. Removed for now. This does seem rather confused. Badgerpatrol 16:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
