I fail to see why anyone should feel threatened by the Ordinariate. the RC church will gain pastoral and expereinced priests and faithful laity. The C of E will be more free to go its own way. <br />We should really be concerned about the millions who do not possess any faith. there is more than enough firuit in the vineyard fro all Christian bodies. I have long believed that RC parishes should not see themselves as ministering to "gathered congragations" but should see themselves as pastors to all even though they are not part of the establishment. With increasing aggressive secularism we should not sit on the sidelines but "attack!"<br />Robert T.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628137193525409363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-14675322687868931002010-12-20T11:48:49.611+00:002010-12-20T11:48:49.611+00:00I suspect that what many people would want – excep...I suspect that what many people would want – excepting certain <i>porporati</i> - is closer attention to future episcopal candidates. In too many places, Britain included, the <i>terna</i> tends to be derived from within a privileged circle, ensuring continuity of the existing regime. While I’m not ready to advance an Ambrosian solution of episcopal choice by popular acclaim (though it worked out well in Ambrose’s case…), I think a wider net needs to be cast.<br /><br />But to do so would require detailed knowledge of the entire ‘electorate’ - something which will only come with time and singular determination. By all appearances Ab. Meninni is up to the task. As to Anglican relations I don’t see that as a major concern for the new Nuncio. The Holy Father has already established the ground rules for the ‘New Ecumenism’ and Ab. Meninni ‘s task will be to ensure proper implementation – which may present more challenges from within than from without.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-46876869629411354672010-12-19T18:43:56.157+00:002010-12-19T18:43:56.157+00:00I too am not concerned about Canterbury.
