So since I have posted last, the Holy Father has given the go ahead for the creation of an American Ordinariate for Episcopalians and other groups of Anglicans to be received, into the Church, in the parish communities that they currently belong to. I think this a rather exciting development but of course is fraught with anxiety, fear, and a good dollop of anger.
While I myself am still clinging to one side of the Tiber for the time being, I will say that the reception of a few priestly friends of mine with their congregations in Calgary and Baltimore does provide some more food for thought. There is also rumours that some of the congregation of S. John the Evangelist, an ACCC parish in Victoria, and their priest, will also or have also been received into the Church as well.
I give you a Youtube video of the Mass of Reception at Mount Calvary, Baltimore, celebrated by the Ordinary of the Ordinariate of the Chair of S. Peter, Fr. Jeffery Steenson, sometime Bishop of the Rio Grande... lovely fiddleback, pity about the mismatched albs though...
Enjoy,
Vincent
I think it's rather lovely
