I think there might just be a little too much posturing regarding this whole slightly less than extra-ordinariate myself.
Having read a few blogs on this topic during the week, I found more than a little over-egging the proceedings that will take place today when the following questions were asked on the St John the Baptist blog:
"Where were you when JFK was shot?"
"Where where you when the white smoke came from the Sistine Chapel that elected Pope Benedict?"
"Where were you when the Ordinariate began?"
The answers are easy.
Question One - Sitting at home wondering why there wasn't anything on the television except a blank screen with a few words and sombre music.
Question Two - Don't have clue, wasn't an issue of an import for me any more than wondering who was to be the next Chief Rabbi! Recognise I'm never going to be short-listed
Question Three - Not sure, when did it begin? Could it be the first announcement or the second announcement or the first time someone spoke of leaving or Broadhurst's announcement or any one of oh so many announcements, proclamations, threats, promises.
A question of real import though. "Who's the top London Club in the Premiership?"

Ordinariate What's that?
"Tonight the first three men were ordained for the Ordinariate in these isles and another step towards the fulfilment of Christ's prayer - that all may be one - was made."
But where are the other 5+ million of the population who won't even consider allying themselves to the Pope?
These are the first of many who return to the arms of the True Church.
Many are shocked, stirred and affirmed by the selfless acts of these three men. They lead and others will follow. Benedict offers the way back into church unity away from the schism that has been the church of England . But now the game is up.
The game is just begun!
Unity is not conformity nor submission and that which is 'on offer' is no offer at all for the majority (high or low).
If it's about bring the 'original church' then best head towards the Orthodox church - for the 'true Church' follow Christ for this is His Bride.
Put not faith in man nor his inventions, or the institutions that he creates but in Christ alone!
