St George for England

It seems the CofE is worried that St George may be too warlike and obstreperous for our Mohammedan brethren and so may forced into retirement as patron of England. Dhimmi Watch quotes the Daily Mail here.

Salva nos, Domine! Perimus!

O Mary, God's own Mother,
Pray for our native land;
And ye, O Saints and Angels,
Around the throne who stand;
Pray for our darkened country,
That faith may live again,
That Jesus in His Sacrament
At last supreme may reign!

SAINTS OF APRIL

September 24
FEAST OF OUR LADY OF WALSINGHAM

Patroness of the Ordinariate of the
Chair of St Peter

O God, Who, through the mystery of the Word made flesh, didst in Thy mercy sanctify the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary: do Thou grant that we may keep aloof from the tabernacle of sinners, and become worthy indwellers of Thy house; through Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

The men of the East may spell the stars,
And times and triumphs mark,
But the men signed of the cross of Christ
Go gaily in the dark.

The men of the East may search the scrolls,
For sure fates and fame,
But the men that drink the blood of God
Go singing to their shame.

But you and all the kind of Christ
Are ignorant and brave,
And you shall have wars you hardly win
And souls you hardly save.

I tell you naught for your comfort
Yea, naught for your desire,
Save that the sky grows darker yet
And the sea rises higher.

Night shall be thrice night over you,
And heaven an iron cope.
Do you have joy without a cause,
Yea, faith without a hope?

The Anglican Ordinariates in the Catholic Church

The Anglican Ordinariate in the Catholic Church has now been established in North America for over ten years. For several years prior this space on the left-hand column of The Inn has been dedicated to the Pastoral Provision, or "Anglican Use", parishes and supporting websites. These parishes and societies were in union with Rome and were under the jurisdiction of their local Roman Rite bishops. But as of 1 January 2012 Pope Benedict XVI has provided that Catholic parishes and communities in the Anglican tradition will have their own Ordinary and their own diocesan-like structure to gather round. (The Pastoral Provision structure still exists as of this writing - 8/12/2022 - but includes only one parish so far as I can tell.) The Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter - the official title of the North American Ordinariate - also includes parishes in Canada. There is also an Anglican Ordinariate in England and Scotland - the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham - and one for Australia, New Zealand and perhaps elsewhere called the Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross. The following are a selection of links to further explore the Catholic Anglican patrimony. And, yes, I realize I am very naughty for continually referring to it/them as "Anglican" Ordinariate(s). Apparently the Powers that Be prefer some other term that I cannot bring to mind at the moment. But hereabouts we called it Anglican Ordinariate since day one or even before that. And as those of you who frequent these premises already know, I don't change easily.

The following are a selection of links to further explore the Catholic Anglican patrimony.

The Collect for the Anglican Use

O Holy Ghost the Lord, Who on Pentecost gavest the Church the gift of tongues that Christ might be known, loved, and served by peoples of divers nations and customs: watch over the Anglo-Catholic heritage within Thy Church, we pray Thee, that, led by Thy guidance and strengthened by Thy grace, that heritage may find such favour in Thy sight that its people may increase both in holiness and number, and so show forth Thy glory; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Son, ever one God world without end. Amen.

A Gallimaufrey of Weblogs. . .

. . .which I find enjoyable. It would be very rash of you to infer that I agree with everything in each of them. Even rasher to assume that they all agree with me. And, yes, some of these folks haven't posted in a long time . . . years, in fact. Call it nostalgia if you like but I intend to keep the links up. Maybe they'll post again some day; I miss them.

LITURGICAL REGENERATION
One might infer from this selection of links that I believe "Liturgical Regeneration" is going to come principally, if not exclusively, from a restoration of the traditional Roman Rite. Such an inference would be largely correct. However, see also the Anglican Ordinariate links above.

"Two of the pubs near Oxford which C.S. Lewis frequented were The Trout and The Six Bells.
Some of Lewis's American readers had written him to inquire about his views on drinking
alcoholic beverages. His response to them was in no uncertain terms: 'I have always
in my books been concerned simply to put forward mere Christianity, and am no
guide on these (most regrettable) interdenominational questions. I do however
most strongly object to the tyrannic and unscriptural insolence of anything that calls
itself a Church and makes teetotalism a condition of membership. Apart from the more
serious objection (that Our Lord Himself turned water into wine and made wine the medium
of the only rite He imposed on all His followers), it is so provincial (what I believe
you people call small town). Don't they realize that Christianity arose in the
Mediterranean world where, then as now, wine was as much a part of the normal diet as bread?"
