BTTT for later.
Ping!
The fatted calves had best run and hide ... I’m all in favour of slaying a few of them to feast these our brethren ...
Hm...this is big. That's Archbishop Hepworth, current head of the TAC. I guess the thinking is since he was ordained a priest in the Roman Rite, to the Roman Rite he must return. It will perhaps be a blow to him personally, although he has been remarkably humble in accepting whatever Rome was going to decide.
Without excluding liturgical celebrations according to the Roman Rite, the Ordinariate has the faculty to celebrate the Holy Eucharist and the other Sacraments, the Liturgy of the Hours and other liturgical celebrations according to the liturgical books proper to the Anglican tradition, which have been approved by the Holy See,
This one will be interesting to watch. AS things stand now, presumably this means the current Anglican Use. Will the English/Knott Missal be approved? (I've heard that Hepworth said Rome is in the process of revising those books) And what about the Sarum Rite...which some think has never been abrogated?
All the Holy Martyrs of England and Wales, pray for us!
This is very good news. We are fortunate indeed through the grace of God for our beloved Pope Benedict.
