The number of people taking advantage...Fr Michael,<br /><br />The number of people taking advantage of the Ordinariates at the start doesn't really matter. What matters is those who do, do their very best to make it work.<br /><br />Remember, by your actions a lot of people will be basing their future decisions on whether to go over. So, put your faith and trust in the Lord and know that us cradle Catholics will be praying very hard for you all in your journey and are waiting with open arms, no matter how long it takes.<br /><br />p.s. Why does it show you are from the USA when you make a comment on the Anglo-Catholic? I'm the chap from Japan... :)Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560107422129799866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911068236939343613.post-34239360335820071412010-03-04T11:39:19.672+00:002010-03-04T11:39:19.672+00:00No, I think (& I hope) you are absolutely righ...No, I think (& I hope) you are absolutely right about England & Wales being part of the same geographical ordinariate. I expressed myself badly; I think there is widespread anxiety about the possible number of people seeking to be part of Ordinariate parishes in Wales. My own feeling is that we won't know in Wales unless we try! Inevitably, it is going to start small and then (d.v.) grow in strength and give encouragement even to those who are saying, or will have to say, "not yet."Michael Gollop https://www.blogger.com/profile/00076220518083389674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911068236939343613.post-55470458079846212412010-03-04T11:11:54.644+00:002010-03-04T11:11:54.644+00:00I wouldn't have thought there would necessaril...I wouldn't have thought there would necessarily be a separate ordinariate for Wales, as there is a single Catholic Bishops' Conference for England and WalesFr Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17518229378952878468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911068236939343613.post-32886759376061472712010-03-03T21:02:41.722+00:002010-03-03T21:02:41.722+00:00I'm afraid that 'Boys from the Blackstuff?...I'm afraid that 'Boys from the Blackstuff?' would be before my time, but I am so thankful for the strength that our Lord provides you and everyone who is joining the Ordinariate. It really is beautiful to see Anglicans and Catholics coming together thanks to the initiative of the Holy Father and the work of the Holy Spirit!Jakian Thomisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173059707881271764noreply@blogger.com
