Dear cmj328,

The beauty of Pope Benedict's Apostolic Constitution is that if more than one or two priests and parishes wish to be received into the Church, the Church will create a Personal Ordinariate for them, largely shielding them from whatever nonsense is going on in the local Roman Catholic diocese. They will be able to retain their liturgy, their music, and most importantly, their own orthodox hierarchy drawn from their own ranks.

I think that dramatically improves the circumstances of entry into the Catholic Church.

I absolutely agree. The new arrangement obviates the former concerns.

Someone was (perhaps a bit sanctimoniously) asking why the Anglo-Catholics hadn't converted yet. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, et alia. I chose to interpret their decision in the most positive light, which is the Christian duty.
