  • Following the Church of England’s decision to allow women bishops, the head of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham has invited those who are “considering their future” to learn more about the ordinariate.

    The Church of England’s decision makes “harder the position of those within the Church of England who still long for corporate unity with the Catholic and Orthodox Churches,” said Msgr. Keith Newton. “Pope Benedict XVl's decision to set up the ordinariates-- allowing former Anglicans to enter the full communion of the Catholic Church, bringing with them much of the Anglican heritage and tradition-- was made in response to repeated requests from Anglicans who longed for unity with the Catholic Church.”

    “On 6 September the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham is holding a Called To Be One exploration day, which is aimed at making the Ordinariate more widely known and understood and reaching those whom God may be calling to join it,” he continued. “All who are interested-- whether because they are considering their future or just because they would like to see more of what we are and what we do-- are warmly invited to attend.”

  • Sounds like another opportunity to compromise & water down Catholicism to me.

    What does that mean?
    Divorce?
    Contraception?
    The Anglicans were the first to officially approve the use of contraception.

    It is  simply not enough to reject women "bishops". If they want to be Catholic they must reject the evils of Anglicanism and embrace the Truths of the Catholic Faith.

    The thing is a farce for which I would never pray.
    Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

    It means a rejection of divorce and contraception. It is an invitation to return to their true home, the Catholic Church.
