Catholic Church in Britain Could Have an Ordinariate for Anglicans by New Year...
"My child and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985
CatholicHerald.co.uk reported on September 22, 2010:
Britain could have an Ordinariate by the end of the year, it emerged today.
Sources say that the Rt Rev Keith Newton, the flying bishop of Richborough and the Rt. Rev Andrew Burnham, the flying Bishop of Ebbsfleet will take up the special canonical structure, which allows groups of Anglicans to come into full Communion with Rome without losing their Anglican identity, before the end of the calendar year.
Groups of Anglicans are already forming across the country in preparation for joining an ordinariate, according to the blog of the retired Bishop of Richborough, the Rt Rev Edwin Barnes.
In his October pastoral letter, Bishop Burnham wrote that ordinariate groups would likely be small congregations of thirty or so people.
Traditionally-minded Anglican clergy from the South of England were gathering at a Sacred Synod in Westminster today to discuss the future direction of the Church of England. The meeting was called by the Rt Rev John Ford, the Anglican Bishop of Plymouth. He invited the signatories of a 2008 open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams and the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, which expressed reservations over women bishops.
The meeting was being held only days after Pope Benedict told Catholic bishops in England and Wales and Scotland to see the offer made in the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus as a “prophetic gesture”.
The apostolic constitution was a topic discussed at the Synod, according to Bishop Burnham.
In a statement Bishop Burnham said that Anglicanorum coetibusoffered “Anglo-Catholics the way to full communion with the Catholic Church for which they worked and prayed for at least a century and it is a way in which they will be ‘united and not absorbed’.”
He said that discussions were under way about how the “vision of the Apostolic Constitution” could be implemented” and said the first people to take up the initiative would require vision and courage.
He quoted Pope Benedict’s speech to the bishops of England, Wales and Scotland, saying the Holy Father set his offer to Anglicans “firmly within the developing ecumenical dialogue” and said it was an “an exciting initiative for those for whom the vision of Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) of corporate union has shaped their thinking over recent years”.
The issue, he said, was “the ministry of the Pope himself, as the successor of St Peter. Anglicans who accept that ministry as it is presently exercised will want to respond warmly to the Apostolic Constitution”. He said: “Those who do not accept the ministry of the Pope or would want to see that ministry in different ways will not feel able to accept Anglicanorum Coetibus.”
Bishop Burnham added: “The decision to respond to the provisions of the Apostolic Constitution is not dependent on the decisions of the General Synod or on any particular issue of church order. The initiative should be judged on its own merit. It will require courage, and vision on the part of those who accept the invitation, particularly amongst the first to respond.
“Although there are few practical details at present in the public forum, discussions have already been taking place as to how the vision of the Apostolic Constitution can be implemented. It is expected that the first groups will be small congregations, energetically committed to mission and evangelism and serving the neighbourhood in which they are set.”
In the pastoral letter, the third in series about the ordinariate, Bishop Burnham described two reasons for taking up the offer made in Anglicanorum coetibus and said that it taking up the offer was not a matter to be considered lightly.
He wrote: “Joining the Ordinariate is not a matter to be considered lightly. Clergy who do so put their stipends and pensions, their homes and their security at risk. In some cases the response of laity will be so enthusiastic that whole congregations might be able to move together, with their parish priest. In most cases, the Ordinariate groups will be church-planting new congregations, congregations of perhaps only thirty or so people to start with, but thirty enthusiasts nonetheless.
“Such congregations of activists will probably grow rapidly, but there, of course, lies another risk. There are many clergy and laity who would love to possess the courage for this pioneering venture but they simply do not. Not everyone is at heart a risk-all pioneer. Not everyone can be: we all have real responsibilities to families to balance against the radical demand of the Gospel.”
There is some speculation that October 9, the feast of Blessed John Henry Newman, Britain’s most prominent Anglican convert to Catholicism, could be the date on which an ordinariate will be announced.
Pope Benedict XVI announced the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus in November 2009. It came as a response to requests from prominent Anglo-Catholics and offered a new canonical structure, similar to military dioceses called personal ordinariates in order to allow groups of Anglicans to enter into communion with Rome without losing their Anglican identity. The personal ordinariate covers a geographical area but has its own leadership and answers to the Pope.
Bishop Alan Hopes, an auxiliary of Westminster Archdiocese and Bishop Malcolm McMahon of Nottingham are in charge of the Bishops’ conference commission dealing with Anglicans wanting to take up the ordinariate.

Four marks of the True Church: One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic…
The following is taken from the booklet, "Faith and common sense", + Imprimatur: Most Reverend John F. Whealon, Archbishop of Hartford:
After Christ left this world, His Church did spring into action, fully prepared to carry on His work. This Church was not something vague in character. Christ said precisely what He wanted it to be. His Church was to be built upon the Apostles. It would continue down to the end of time in the same way, ruled by the successors of the Apostles. That is perhaps the clearest thing of all.
He also intended it to be one Church, not a number of churches. The Church He had in mind was to be for all men. It would work for their sanctification and salvation. These qualities were so clearly built into the Church that they were marks setting off the true Church of Christ from all other institutions claiming the name. Catholics say that these marks are unity, catholicity, holiness and apostolicity.
When we examine the early Church as it appears in the time of the Apostles, we find that it had all these qualities. One Church and only one is in existence today which clearly shows the same four marks. This is the Catholic Church.
Around the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome are inscribed the words, “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church.” Those words are as true of the present Pope as they were of St. Peter. The Pope is the successor of Peter, and he has the same authority as the Prince of the Apostles once had.
That is a truth which can be amply proved by the facts. No other religious society can trace its heritage back through the centuries to St. Peter.
Pope Paul VI, the present Bishop of Rome [Note: Paul VI was Pope at the time this article was written], is a successor of St. Peter. Year by year the succession can be traced back to the time of the great Apostle himself. Some of the Popes lived for only a few years or months; some have had very long terms of office. Some of them have been great leaders in world affairs; some relatively obscure. But they are all known to history.
Today in the Catholic Church the Pope holds the fullness of power the same as Peter did in the early Church. He is not like a democratically-elected president whose power depends on the consent of the governed. Like Peter he has been made the shepherd of the flock by the Lord, and he has the same absolute power as Peter.
Under him in the administration of the Church are the Bishops and priests. Their power comes from God, as once the power of the Twelve came from Christ. St. Paul said to the presbyters of Ephesus, “Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops to rule the Church of God” (Acts 20:28).
There is no doubt that the Catholic Church today is apostolic in the line of succession of its Bishops and the Pope, and that it possesses an authority which was once given to the Apostles.
UNITY OF RULE, BELIEF, RITUAL
St. Paul told the Ephesians to remember that they
had “one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism” (Eph. 4:5). The Catholic Church does have
that unity of rule, belief and ritual.
All Catholics everywhere recognize the authority of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ. He is the representative of the Lord, and presents the final judgments or decision on matters of faith and morals. Catholics do not accept the official pronouncements of the Pope only when they agree with them. They accept them at all times because they recognize his authority.
All Catholics believe the same faith. There is no difference in the essential doctrines which various priests teach. One Bishop does not have his own truths about religion which are different from the beliefs of another Bishop. Both are explaining the doctrine of the Catholic Church, not their own ideas about doctrines. The manner of preaching may be different; the doctrine is the same throughout the world. There is “one faith” in the Catholic Church.
So also there is but one “Baptism.” The term embraces all those essential rites which the Catholic Church practices. The most important rite of the Catholic Church is the Mass. The Mass is the re-enactment of the Last Supper, as was commanded by Christ. All Catholics are obliged to attend Mass every Sunday and on the important religious festivals of the year. This obligation is world-wide. So is the Mass. Our soldiers serving in foreign countries are always at home when they go into the Catholic churches of those nations; they find the Mass essentially as they knew it in the United States. The Mass is celebrated in every Catholic church throughout the world and consists of the same essential rite of the consecration of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
The seven sacraments–Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Matrimony, Holy Orders and the Anointing of the Sick–are the same throughout the world. They are administered in the same way in all places. Every Catholic is obliged to make use of them at appropriate times; there are no national differences.
THE MARK OF HOLINESS
Not only does the Catholic Church have that mark of
unity which Christ wished His Church to have; it also has the mark of holiness.
Christ instituted His Church to make men holy and to bring them to heaven. The
Catholic Church does just that. None of its teaching ever leads men away from
God; none ever twists human nature into some frightening form. All its practices
and teachings tend to make men better.
Moreover, the Catholic Church provides men with the means to become better. It does not simply offer the “consolation of religion.” It does something about man’s ceaseless struggle to become better. To those who are conscious of sinfulness, it does not merely say, “Repent in the secret of your heart and try to do your best in the future.” It says, “Go to the sacrament of Penance; have your sins forgiven, and receive the grace which that sacrament provides to help you avoid these sins for the future.” At the bedside of those seriously ill, the Catholic priest does not merely exhort the Catholic to be sorry for his sins and cast himself upon the mercy of God. The Catholic Church has a rite, the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick which forgives sins and brings the spiritual and physical help which men need in grave sickness.
“Is any one among you sick?” asks St. James. “Let him bring in the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him” (James 5:14-16). That is what the Catholic Church does for her members.
Finally, the Catholic Church is world-wide. That is a fact today as it has been a fact for all these centuries past. The membership of the Catholic Church consists of people of all nations, from every part of the world.
That is not an accident or the result of good salesmanship. It is the result of the very nature of the Church of Christ. He sent His Apostles to make disciples of all nations. The doctrine and practices which He left them were of such a nature that they appeal to all nations. There has never been a nation which found the doctrine of the Catholic Church contradictory to its own culture or thought.
When Pere Marquette journeyed down the Mississippi, preaching the Gospel, he found Indians who were anxious to listen to the story of the death of Christ upon the Cross. They were baptized and accepted Christianity wholeheartedly. When St. Francis Xavier reached Japan, he found the natives eager to hear the message. So firm were they in their faith that for two centuries during persecution they held on to that faith despite martyrdom. The Catholic Church is an ancient faith in Japan today, not a recent development.
So it has been everywhere. The Catholic Church has not been the product of one culture or one nation. Catholicism followed the Spanish armies into this country, and the Spanish armies were defeated. It has little to do with the English colonization of the eastern seaboard. Yet today the Catholic Church is the largest single religious body in the United States and a native part of our culture. The Catholic Church is universal in its appeal. That is why it is called “Catholic,” for catholic means universal.
THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST
These are the qualities which mark out the Catholic
Church today as the one religious organization in the world which is identical
with the Church which Jesus Christ founded. It is one, holy, catholic and
apostolic, just as was the Church in the time of the first Apostles.
These four marks point out the Catholic Church as the true Church of Christ in another way. Only God can work a miracle. Now these four qualities in a society are obviously miraculous.
Take unity, for example. We have erected a society called the United Nations to make something of that unity. But it seems the more nations we have in it, the less unity there is.
Political parties meet in convention to draw up a “platform” of action. But the platform cannot be too definite. There have to be compromises in deference to sharply conflicting views. The more divergent the factions in the party, the less agreement can be reached. All things human show the same tendency to disintegrate under the pressure of expansion.
The truths held by all Catholics are numerous and detailed; sometimes they are involved. For example, all Catholics believe in transubstantiation. Transubstantiation is the term applied to the change of the whole substance of bread into the Body of Christ and the change of the whole substance of wine into the substance of the Blood of Christ, the appearance of bread and wine remaining. That is a very definite belief, though a rather involved one. It is not the kind of truth people would come to know and believe on their own. All Catholics hold it with equal belief and with complete acceptance.
So it is with many other points of Catholic belief. The unity of the Catholic Church is something which is not matched anywhere else in the world. It is not that the Catholic Church is a little more united than other societies. It is that the Catholic Church is unified in a way which no other society was ever united. The ordinary laws of sociology do not apply here. That is what we mean by a miracle. Such unity cannot be explained on any natural basis.
Take the case of the Church’s apostolic tradition. It is just not reasonable that a society which has lived so vigorously as the Catholic Church should not have burned itself out by this time. Every other society which was in existence when Christ founded His Church–the Roman Empire, nation of the Gauls, the great universities of Greece–has passed away. Groups have broken off from the Catholic Church during its almost two thousand years of existence. They have followed the curve of disintegration which governs all natural societies. They have waxed strong for a while, grown old and they have passed away.
As the man in the Gospel who was born blind said after receiving his sight, “If this man were not from God, he could do nothing” (John 9:33). If the Catholic Church were not from God, it could not continue to possess, as the Catholic Church does, the four marks which Christ’s True Church must possess–apostolicity, catholicity, unity and holiness. Any church may claim these symbols of authenticity and authority. But only one may truly possess them.
"You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978
"I gave you a simple plan with the construction of My House, My Church, upon earth. But now you want to reform it, until you will split My House asunder with many denominations, many new denominations. I ask that My Church be universal, apostolic, and the saver of souls. However, there are rules to be followed, doctrines to remain unchanged." - Jesus, September 7, 1978
Our Lady of
the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
ONLY TRUE RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity
and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your
neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and
permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth.
You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon
earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his
arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it
forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our
Lady, September 7, 1978
YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
"As in the past, rejection has been the start of a fallen man. Sin has become a
way of life with many. You live in a delusion if you believe that you can offend
the Eternal Father and then gain eternal life in the Kingdom. No, I say to you:
many are called, but few are chosen.
"Ask and you shall receive, believe and you will be given the way. But you
must merit the Kingdom. Your birthright was a start, but you must make your way
to the Kingdom. Others may gain these graces for you by prayer and acts of
sacrifice, but you will accept or reject the key." - Jesus, May 26, 1976
ONE TRUE CHURCH
"My child
and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and
I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True
Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to
you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985
RELIGION OF THE
CROSS
"There is
only one religion that can save your country and all of the countries of the
world: the religion of the cross and My Son's sacrifice upon that cross." -
Our Lady, November 25, 1978
SEPARATED BRETHREN
"O My
children, pray much! We do not want to see a division in My Son's House. The
Roman Catholic Church must remain one! But this does not mean, as the church of
man states, that you will bring all manner of heretics and separated brethren
in. No, My children, that is an error, a delusion from satan. You cannot change
My Son's House and bring them in and change for them! They must change and come
back to the original rule given by My Son and those who were with Him in the
building of the foundation.
"I repeat, My child and My children: separated brethren must change. They
have protested in the past; they have taken themselves away from the truth and
the one true Church. They must reject the errors they have made in the past and
come back and start again. They cannot bring their errors into My Son's House.
"You are opening the doors now for all manner of heretics, separated
brethren. They do not come to unite in good spirit and heart; they come to take
over. They seek to change you, O pastors, who are being deluded. And what do I
see in My Son's House but separated brethren upon His pulpit! Even from the
temples, the synagogues of satan, upon His pulpit! And for what?
"And who are My pastors now that have joined in this plan of destruction? Who
ordained some of them? Not legitimate hands. They come to destroy. They come in
like rats, burrowing, undermining My Son's Church! Do you think you are not
watched? Are you above your Creator that you think you can deceive the world
permanently? No, I say unto you! You are being given your time, for you who have
given yourselves to satan are now exposing your true nature to the world." -
Our Lady, March 18, 1977
ESTABLISHED BY
JESUS CHRIST
"There
are many deceptions taking place among you, and one being the falsification of
the manner of the salvation of souls. When I was upon earth, I established the
rules and I gave you My Church, My House. However, now I watch as many have gone
forward with itching ears and novelty, and they are setting upon the world a new
religion." - Jesus, May 20, 1978
WILL STAND
"Do not
be deluded, My children, by the agents of satan among you in human form who
preach doctrines of devils. The truth has been given to mankind through the
ages. The Holy Roman Catholic Church of My Son will stand. The members shall be
reduced to few. Only a remnant, My child, shall carry the banner Faithful and
True. But the gates of hell shall fight a heavy battle against My Son's Church,
but they shall not succeed." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977
ONLY SANCTIFIED
HOUSE
"Your
children are wandering into the web of satan, going farther from the House of My
Son. The truth is being removed from their hearts. They are setting among
themselves groups. They shall not remove from their lives vows of My Son. As the
only sanctified House upon earth, their souls will be destroyed when they are
not given the Bread of living life. This Bread will only be obtained in the
sanctified House of My Son. Satan seeks to remove the tabernacle from among
you." - Our Lady, August 5, 1973

every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with
obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they
will understand that they will repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the
value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the
knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your
children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if
