Fr John Hunwicke
was for nearly three decades at Lancing College; where he taught Latin and Greek language and literature, was Head of Theology, and Assistant Chaplain. He has served three curacies, been a Parish Priest, and Senior Research Fellow at Pusey House in Oxford. Now incardinated into the Personal Ordinariate of our Lady of Walsingham, he has his base within the Oxford Ordinariate Group. This blog now replaces the Blog Father Hunwicke's Liturgical Notes. Its main purpose is to explore, ad mentem Summi Pontificis, the possibilitiesfor mutual enrichment between three forms of the Roman Rite: the Extraordinary Form, the Ordinary Form, and the Anglican Use. I have been told that my previous blog was disliked because of some the comments on the 'thread'. I take the point. In this blog, all comments will be moderated, and anything which is even implicitly critical of the English Hierarchy or of any member of it, will not be published.
NEW: Click below to order the 2013 ORDO
The purpose of this ORDO is to serve the needs of both Anglicans and Roman Catholics. For the former it provides for the recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer and the celebration of Holy Communion in accordance with modern forms authorised or encouraged in the Provinces of Canterbury and York. These forms are selected, arranged, and interpreted in the the spirit of what has become generally customary in Western Christendom since the Second Vatican Council; but notes draw attention to Orthodox insights. It also provides a full Calendar according to the modern Roman Rite, together with explanatory and catechetical notes. Anglicans who prefer forms of Liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer will find a lectionary designed for use with the BCP.

Raffaello's Madonna di Foligno
The original once graced the high altar of the church of Sancta Maria in Ara Coeli on the Capitoline Hill. A fine copy is at the centre of the great baroque reredos at S Thomas the Martyr, Oxford.

A most enigmatic post, Sir.
I think it is simply a matter of housekeeping. Since the metropolitan see of Luanda had ten suffragans, and Porto Alegre had seventeen, the time was perhaps ripe to create some new metropolitan sees?
I might add that on average there are four episcopal/archiepiscopal sees for every metropolitan see worldwide.
All in Brazil. Interesting.
Brazilian dioceses and archdioceses are too big... Well, Brazil is too big! If the Church could double the number of dioceses and archdioceses in Brazil we would still need more (I'm talking about too many people in too large areas). But I think the Chuch doesn't have money and bishops/priests enough to do it. But anything the Holy See does related to it is good. I myself live in a new created diocese (just two months). Separated from the Primatial Archdioces of São Salvador da Bahia (Holy Saviour in Bahia). Pray for Brazil and Brazilian catholics: protestans march over us and heresy is widespread
