Pretty common response.

My wife’s bishop is rumoured to be rather unhappy about this.

[Sporaticus]

Archbishop Sentamu: "If people genuinely realise that they want to be Roman Catholic, they should convert properly, and go through catechesis and be made proper Catholics. This kind of creation [the Apostolic Constitution] -- well, all I can say is, we wish them every blessing and may the Lord encourage them. But as far as I am concerned, if I was really, genuinely wanting to convert, I wouldn't go into an Ordinariate. I would actually go into catechesis and become a truly converted Roman Catholic and be accepted." ---------------------------------------------------------- I pretty much agree with the archbishop, this generation of converts are probably going to be a mixed and confused bunch,...ahhh but their children will grow up in the faith and be a much better lot. The best plan for the most long term effectiveness.There is something to be admired in the approach.
