Seven Anglican priests and 300 members of six congregations are to join a new section of the Catholic Church, the Catholic Diocese of Brentwood says.
The move involves three parishes in Essex, and three in east London.
It is the largest known influx to date into the Ordinariate
The Anglican Bishop of Chelmsford, the Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell, said he was disappointed that 300 members in Essex were converting to Catholicism.
"Although I'm sorry these people are going, I do respect their decision. But it is a small group of people. The Church of England remains the church for everyone."

Fixed it.
I guess the Anglicans went the way of the ECUSA....Down the toilet.
Stands to reason a State run religion would pander to voting trends rather than matters of faith. Sure is nice to be able to vote with your feet...just as God intended.
They could easily leave their corrupted church and find a home more in line with the teachings of the bible and with a less sordid history. The Reformation happened for a reason. A shame they don’t remember that.
Actually the ECUSA is part of the Anglican group. This move by the Pope gives the conservatives left among the anglicans a way out.
Yes, they left the Anglican Church and found a home more in line with the teachings of the bible and with a history dating back to Christ. The Reformation happened and led to what is happening in the ECUSA and CoE and the State Reformed Churches in Europe now.
“Actually the ECUSA is part of the Anglican group.”
Yes, I am aware of that, as it spun off from the Church of England.
I was senior warden of the oldest Episcopal church in west Tennessee ( est. 1832)
I wonder what the present Queen's reaction to this is.

My apologies then for presuming to “correct” you! Sorry, you definitely would know that!
that cartoon makes my skin cringe. What a monster
Indeed.
ROTFLMAO, you really believe all the lies, don’t you?
“I pity you. I really do.”
Hiding from the light? Taking on a moniker like yours and attacking the Church Christ founded makes sense I guess.
Brick by brick. Thank you for posting this.
"They relinquish their present post, a very big thing, leaving some of their people which brings heartache, into a fairly unknown future, as this ordinariate has only just been brought up.
"It calls for huge faith and huge trust because the future isn't that certain," he said.
The Reformation happened a long time ago, for good reasons that applied then. It’s a point in time.

I can’t say anything other than “Welcome Home.”
