Actually, I think the Anglican Ordinariate is much different than even Opus Dei.

I think you or I would be eligible to join Opus Dei tomorrow, if we wished to. Not so with the Ordinariate, which appears to be quite exclusive:

Those who were baptized Catholic but have not received Confirmation and First Communion are now allowed to join the ordinariates. Previously, baptized Catholics were not eligible to join the groups unless they had family who were ex-Anglicans.

This "particular", and obviously exclusive, church disturbs me. What happened to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church? For instance:

With their own bishop, said Msgr. Entwistle [the ordinary of the U.K. ordinariate], "we have become a particular Church. This is a statement of confidence from the Holy Father."

As far Dinardo's Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, I'll never darken it's doorways with my shadow until it is reconsecrated as a Catholic church.

Good grief. That is horrible. Using the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart for the Houston-Galveston Diocese to be used for a Woman Methodist Bishop’s Ordination? Even if it occurred in 2013, I am surprised I never heard about it.

If that “disturbs” you, how much more must the Byzantine Catholic particular churches disturb you? Or are they OK, since they preceded Vatican II?
