Of course I don't want to demonise anyone going a different route. I just think it is a cul de sac(dead end) and you can see the sign before you even enter the road. My worry is that the Society will deflect and reduce the take up of the generous offer of Pope Benedict. I agree there are many unanswered questions on that but we have to be patient with Rome and keep faith.Fr.

For some, perhaps many, the 'new protestant C of E and Church in Wales' may be all that is left for them. <br /><br />Information coming out of Wales suggests little enthusiasm so far for the Ordinariate except in isolated pockets. Opportunities should be better in England but I have yet to read any detailed proposals that justify the current wave of enthusiasm. I hope it is justified but if there is no 'Ordinariate near you', what is one to do? Attempting to get a lifeboat into the water may appear futile but it may provide the only home for those who are unable to make it shore.AncientBritonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357913998344777403noreply@blogger.com
