I'd assumed the same as you until this thought came into my head. I then read the text and the norms carefully and could see no such restriction.TommiAquinashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595735200198764348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-36153402068263381722010-09-15T20:01:49.530+01:002010-09-15T20:01:49.530+01:00If a colonial may comment; the suggestion of Fr.

My reading of AC suggests that he must be a part of the groups of Anglicans who avail themselves of the provisions.<br /><br />In any case, I'd rather keep Aidan Nichols for us :) There are far too many dire English RC bishops, surely the English church deserves atjustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441632434304154517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-5553116696259936682010-09-14T18:37:23.877+01:002010-09-14T18:37:23.877+01:00For the first time I can remember, I must disagree...For the first time I can remember, I must disagree with Fr Hunwicke. I feel somewhat under-prepared for such an inherently foolish course of action!<br /><br />The Ordinariates will need all the good will we can possibly muster from the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales.
