‘I noticed the Pope created a new denomination to accommodate these people. How divisive of him.’

The Ordinariate is NOT a new denomination, it is ‘a special branch of Catholicism established by the Pope’ possibly in the direction of setting up an Anglican Rite within the Church. This would be the same as the other non-Roman Rites in the Church.

Ah, you don’t like with someone throws the “many denominations” argument back against Roman Catholicism, do you? :-)

Out of curiosity, a question for you: How many “denominations” are there within the “Protestant” tradition?

Wow...big news! Does that mean the pope is endorsing Anglican rites?

Maybe he will canonise Martin Luthor next.
