Apostolic Constitution Booklet from Bishop Edwin
Bishop Edwin Barnes has authored a new booklet to aid Church of England congregations as they discern how to respond to the Holy Father’s invitation in Anglicanorum Coetibus. The booklet is entitled “The Catholic Church and England: The Pope’s Offer of Personal Ordinariates for Groups of Anglicans” and consists of Bishop Edwin’s personal reflections on the Apostolic Constitution. The booklet is meant to empower priests and their congregations, especially as they look forward to February 22, 2010, the day of prayer and discernment requested by the provincial episcopal visitors.
It is to be priced £3.50, or £5 to include postage. It is thanks to the Church Union and ACS that this very low price has been achieved, for they hope that it can be put into the hands of as many priests and laypeople as possible, and as soon as possible.
If you wish to order your pre-publication copy, or need to know about postage for quantities or for overseas, ask ACS: info@additionalcurates.co.uk.

Post-Program Thoughts
about 5 hours ago - 6 comments
So I’m back from the studio in Austin, home in San Antonio. I often wonder how much good can be done by taking part in these magazine-style news programs. Trying to cram three or four important issues into an hour (breaking for commercials, of course!), isn’t a terribly effective way of discussing something. Unfortunately, our society is More >

How about if we create a live-blogging thread for Raymond Arroyo’s program, which just started on EWTN. Are you tuned in? Add your thoughts in the comments section.

Canadian Friends of the Ordinariate

I have set up a Canadian Friends of the Ordinariate site with a link to a Yahoo! Groups listserv for anyone interested in joining or supporting a personal ordinariate in Canada. The listserv is brand new but I hope it will be a good place for those who want to ask questions privately.

A Few Thoughts, A Week Later
about 1 day ago - 4 comments
Other than a few random comments, lately I’ve been pretty quiet on the blog. It’s not for lack of interest – more like a lack of hours in the day. This week started the students’ Lenten confessions, and I’ve managed to hear about seventy-five confessions over the past few days, with lots more to come. I More >
Light on Clerical Celibacy
about 1 day ago - 62 comments
I have a document that probably sheds a considerable amount of light onto why the authorities of the Church are retaining celibacy as a rule and allowing generous dispensations from this discipline at the same time. I am sure most of our readers are aware that not all Catholics are orthodox or traditionally-minded. Many have More >
Theologian Says Married Priests Will Always Be Exceptional

Zenit is carrying an interview with Fr. Laurent Touze, spiritual theology professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, who spoke at a two-day conference held last week entitled, “Priestly Celibacy: Theology and Life,” and sponsored by the Congregation for the Clergy as an event for the Year for Priests.
The interview is especially interesting More >
Counting Our Blessings

If God is for us, who can be against us?
I must do some writing for Catholic papers today on last night’s excellent Catholic Christian Outreach event where Cardinal Levada spoke, so I must be brief. I posted some pictures from yesterday over at my blog, which I have been neglecting of late. I also put More >
Isolated Groups of Anglicans
about 3 days ago - 8 comments
Most of the Anglican groups, in the Anglican Communion or the TAC, live in countries where their bishops have territorial dioceses. It would certainly be assumed that one or more Ordinariates would be established in those countries more or less corresponding with the formerly Anglican jurisdictions concerned.
There are some very small groups of Anglicans living More >

The Salt + Light blog has an unofficial transcription of the talk (“Five Hundred Years After St. John Fisher: Benedict’s Ecumenical Initiatives to Anglicans”) which Cardinal Levada delivered on Saturday evening at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. Here are some excerpts. My emphases.

I must confess myself to have been utterly ignorant of the importance of that fine distinction between “author” and “write” in this context.
