As an Anglican (NOT an Episcopalian!) this is fine with me. Those Protestants who cannot see the difference between Rome and themselves...should go....makes it easier on us evangelicals, who actually like Luther, Calvin, Cranmer, etc...
Welcome home, Anglicans, priests as well as laypeople.
One of the four priests ordained at the recent ordination in my Archdiocese was an Anglican convert who then became a priest. Yes, he had a wife and family too.
Satan is succeeding in throwing the Reformation into reverse.
I cannot see that this is anything other than a happy event. I caution all of you Latins, however, to remember that Anglicans are NOT Roman Catholics with a “High Church” accent. In fact, they are often, and probably incorrectly, called the “English Orthodox”. The fact remains that their ecclesiology and theology are far more Orthodox than Latin and even at that, it takes years before Anglican converts to Orthodoxy really begin to think and view the world around them like Orthodox Christians.
This Ordinariate can work. The Melkites are very nearly thoroughly Orthodox yet their bishops are in full communion with Rome. Just don’t expect or require too much too quickly from these good people.
Questions:
1. I take it that Roman Catholics will be able to fulfill their Sunday Obligation by going to an Ordinariate Mass?
2. Also, what if a Roman Catholic wanted to join an Ordinariate parish? Is that ok? So, if you were Catholic and moved to a new place and were looking at the local parishes, you could just as easily go the Ordinariate parish as the local typical Roman Catholic parish?
