They are still Anglican in style. But I agree they are now fully Catholic under Rome. It's a good bit more than a handful but not an exodus. Not much greater than the amount leaving to join any other group.The Anglican Ordinariate is made up of former Anglicans. It is part of the Roman Catholic Church, so that handful of people are not Anglicans.

Well, there are about 115,000,000 Anglicans in the world; there are about 2000 members of the Ordinariate. I call that a handful.But I agree they are now fully Catholic under Rome. It's a good bit more than a handful but not an exodus.
Hmm. It must be quite a secret since that hasn't appeared in any Anglican publication I'm aware of--and it almost certainly would have.I hear a diocese is talking about join the Russian Orthodox but I'm pretty sure they won't retain Anglican rite. They'll simply be Orthodox if the make the move.
If the whole diocese actually does entertain it it will be news a good while before it happens. I'm not betting on it as they have a good many who are of the Charismatic persuasion. That will be an issue. It's only talks for now. I do know that some will be making the move regardless. Two clergy and their families. One is bringing his parish along. I was not informed it was any kind of secret.No, they're not. A few phrases and prayers from the Book of Common Prayer are allowed them, and some Anglican hymns, but in every other way, they are fully Roman Catholic the same as any other Roman Catholic. It is not in the least like another Catholic rite or a Uniate church, if you had that impression.

Man, all of that is just plain confusing to me.I'm very aware of that. It was something I didn't believe would ever happen. I was wrong.....again. I find it fascinating. But I see no mass exodus to join.
I have a feeling this will cause some issues with the regulars in the near future. But I've been wrong before as noted.

Catholic Church Revises Constitution to Attract Anglicans - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News - FOXNews.com
The Roman Catholic Church made a stunning policy reversal on Tuesday in a move to attract thousands of traditional Anglicans who have become disaffected by a growing acceptance of gays and women priests and bishops.
Interesting, what do you think?
It's somewhat of a sideshow to the thread, LLOJ, but the answer is quite simple. The Pope made a provision a couple of years ago for Anglicans to convert, in groups like whole parishes, to the Roman Catholic Church. The proclamation was a provision for an "Ordinariate" meaning those making the move would have their own jurisdiction within the RCC and not just be filtered into the local, existing, Catholic parishes.Man, all of that is just plain confusing to me.
I don't see that very often in their literature, but don't doubt that it sometimes is said. However, it can't be anything more than a colloquialism or 'local pride' because they are totally incorporated into the Catholic Church and are not a Uniate jurisdiction or a new rite like the Maronites, etc.Well they are calling them selves Anglican Catholics,
They have their own prayerbook but it's not a separate rite. All it is is the Roman Catholic Mass with a few non-controversial passages taken from the Book of Common Prayer sprinkled in.and have their own rites based upon their Anglican tradition.
Other than for married priests (which isn't really doctrinal) I can't think of any.There have been a few changes, from what I understand, where there was theological differences, but I have heard there isn't many.
Well, of course they aren't still members of the Anglican Communion, but they aren't Anglicans of any sort, either.But you are right, they are no longer members of the Anglican communion, but part of the Catholic Church.
I think the steam has gone out of this project, but, as you say, we can't know what the future will hold.How big they get, well I am not sure, but the pope has asked them to focus their evangelism not just on former, or disenchanted Anglicans; but to all looking for a Church. At this time a Roman Catholic cannot make the transition over to the ordinate.
According to the Vatican, it won't.This is probably due to them not yet being classified as a Particular Church, as the other non-Roman Catholic Churches are. Perhaps this will change
The more things change...

But it turned out to be less than was expected when it was implemented, so very few Anglicans have decided to go that way. The little disagreement we had here on this thread was just about the fact that those who did join are ordinary Catholics now except they do have a special supervisor and retain a few incidental Anglican prayers, etc. People sometimes think, erroneously, that they are a separate Anglican church that is in "full communion" with the RCC.

Good pointone more ring on the tree ..
same tree .
Gee, one gets the impression that emotions are running high and hot.
In what way?Gee, one gets the impression that emotions are running high and hot.
So this isn't copy and paste????
Which one does and I will make an attempt to watch it.
It's in the Roman Catholicism series. Forget which episode. I think.
I may or may not watch it, but I too am curious about it.Link it and Ill watch it.
Ya got me.......Please explain how church history has changed your mind. Be specific. I have always wondered, since you claim that your perspective is informed by history, how it could ever have possibly changed as a result of the serious study of history.
