Putting The Ordinary Into Ordinariate

Yes, of course I welcome them into the Catholic Church. And, if anything, I positively welcome their failure to bring any buildings with them. Holding out for a property portfolio is hardly the pattern of discipleship preached by Jesus of Nazareth.

Yet there is no disguising the fact that in most, if not all, cases they are simply celebrating another Ordinary Form Sunday Mass in a church which already has two or three of them. Why could they not have attended those? It cannot be about solemnity, since anywhere willing to host them will be no haven of aged hippies, and one of those locations is in fact the Oxford Oratory.

Meanwhile, whatever happened to the Traditional Anglican Communion, which negotiated the original provision, which really does maintain the highly distinctive Anglo-Catholic liturgical life of yesteryear, and the thriving constituent parts of which in, especially, India, South Africa and the Torres Strait (the only place on earth where the TAC is the "normal" church) would be most welcome among the urgently needed senders of Catholic missionaries to the West in general and to these Islands in particular?
