I don't think that the RCC will be inundated by a wave of those availing themselves of this provision

This was done for the Traditional Anglican Communion - not for some generic "here you go if you're interested" purpose. It's being rolled out in that fashion so as to soothe the shattered egos of the "official" Anglican Communion and the English Catholic clergy. It may become a model for others somewhere down the road but this is being done for the TAC and the TAC has no interest in the Anglican Use liturgy. They'll modify the 1928 BCP and the other uses based on that book if they have to, but I don't think there'll be too much of that.

There will have to be a certain amount. There are some things that we say in the Anglican Use liturgy that are clangingly out of place and thus I can tell that they had to be put in because of Rome. One is where we say “Pray Brethren that our sacrifice may be acceptable to the Lord Our God” and we respond “May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hand, for the praise and glory of His Name, for our good and the good of all his church.” Also, at the consecration where they say “This is my blood, the blood of the new and unending covenant. It shall be shed for you and for many so that sins may be forgiven.”

So you think the TAC will get a separate Rite so that the geographical sovereign, the Archbishop will not have authority over them? What about the AMIA? You don’t think this constitution is meant to be applied to many constituencies RIGHT NOW? You think it’s just about the TAC? I doubt it.

Consideration of Anglican feelings and those of current British Catholic clergy is of prime importance. That is why the RCC will not allow any property disputes to erupt and will likely low key this situation. It isn’t a numbers game with the score given at every juncture. The lads from Rome can be masters of conciliation and will do what they can to mitigate hurt feelings. This situation is very sad for those who feel compelled to make a decision to leave and our prayers should attend to their situation. In this country do you think those so disposed to leave will more than likely join an existing RCC church or will they be more inclined to form their own congregations. Many of the devout would like to see them join an existing parish to work and change the “Rot” ushered in by VatII
