Anglican ordinariate now has a Bishop

[Peter_J]

yes I saw your bolded words.

I had hoped you would.

If I sound a bit wary, it’s because people sometimes say they don’t understand what someone is saying when they really mean that they don’t agree with it.

I believe what he is saying is that an ecumenical endeavor is generally said to be for the purpose of relationships between religions/Churches/ecclesial communities, whereas the ordinariate was not started for to work on relationships between the Anglican groups and Catholicism as groups, but rather to meet the needs of specific (now former) Anglicans.

That depends. Indeed working together is the social purpose of ecumenical cooperation, however, I believe the article is correct in regard to what are historically considered protestant schisms from the Latin Church. The ultimate goal of ‘ecumenism’ with the Anglican groups had been realized with the creation of the Ordinariate, especially since the Anglican practices of ordination of women, open homosexuals and same-sex blessings made it impossible for any kind of communion or full reconciliation, as was the goal prior to the 1950s.
