Quoting Bishop Lopes: "draw others into the adventure of faithful discipleship"



There are numerous reasons why Pope Benedict and Pope Francis have established and fostered our place in the diverse tapestry of Catholic life. Certainly, we would highlight the Ordinariate’s role in preserving and promoting the patrimony of Anglican and English Christianity. We would note the ecumenical value of the Ordinariate, on the personal level by providing a welcoming reception into full communion with the Catholic Church, and on the more global ecumenical level, demonstrating that unity with the Catholic Church does not mean assimilation and uniformity. The norms express another reason as well: the missional and evangelical character of the Ordinariate itself. The journey into full communion at the origin of our particular Church is but the first movement that gives shape to the Ordinariate. The second movement is to go out again — armed with the confidence of Catholic doctrine, the beauty of our English patrimony, and the joy of communion — to draw others into the adventure of faithful discipleship.
