Not About Them

I don't know how it has taken me so long to work this out, but none of this Personal Ordinariate business is about the Church of England. It is about the Traditional Anglican Communion and those American Episcopalians who are still using something akin to the Anglo-Catholicised Book of Common Prayer of old. The latter might stand some chance (perhaps not much, but some) of keeping their buildings. Members of an Established Church haven't a hope of that. This is not about them.
