For many of us since the votes in the 1990s SSC has simply been the Church, and we are all deeply grateful for the spiritual support and friendship the Society has given at a time when all the old certainties have been crumbling around us.<br />But one of the worries I have is that whatever stance any of the traditional Catholic Societies decides to take, we don't give the impression that life can go on as before. "Business as usual" is not an option but a dangerous delusion. Like it or not, we have to recognise that the 'period of reception' over unilateral Anglican changes to to apostolic order has (equally unilaterally) been brought to an end. As a result, we all have very difficult decisions to make one way or another; it's important that we make them with our eyes open and not sleepwalk into disaster.Michael Gollop https://www.blogger.com/profile/00076220518083389674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911068236939343613.post-12402212255777661792011-01-06T14:27:40.559+00:002011-01-06T14:27:40.559+00:00Steady on, Padre!

I hope you haven’t broken any of the secret rules by mentioning SSC on your blog. We don’t want the brethren doing you in and dangling you under a bridge with a couple of bricks in your pockets! Are there any big bridges near you?!Col.

And they obviously want us to do just that - leave. As far as I can see, there is no Catholic future in the CofE and it really surprises me, and annoys me too, that SSC are not offering more support for the Ordinariate. I always thought that SSC had, as a prime principle, reunion with the Holy See and now there is the opportunity, on the most generous terms, I would have thought that it would have been welcomed and embraced.Father Mervyn Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053613428222136067noreply@blogger.com
