Our family went camping last weekend and we attended, by accident, one of these parishes, it was uncomfortable at first as we weren’t sure if we wondered into a non-Catholic church. After frantic searching the internet prior to Mass we discovered this was valid. Not only was it “valid” it was beautiful! This was a community! Half of my extended family is Protestant and this Bishop talking about the community of Anglicanism spoke to me, especially post-COVID. We need the community he is talking about and many Protestant churches have this type of community. We Roman Catholics need to look and listen, and take some of the community aspects our Protestant brothers and sisters have into, or back into, our Catholic culture

I doubt they could have found a better bishop for the ordinariate

I would like to get Bishop Lopez view now on regards to Mayan idols that were paid homage at a prolific Amazon Synod at the Vaticzn 2019 October.....idols were given homage by RC.

They were Mayan and they were idols? I need to study more about Mayan mythology because I have not seen any of those figurines in the Maya. Thanks for the update! I do not understand how Mexico allowed those "idols" to leave Mexico as we are extremely zealous of our cultural heritage. Take care!

They were a depiction of a he Blessed Mother. They even say, “Our Lady of the Amazon.” These people were all Catholic, the person who created the depiction is Catholic himself too. That being said, I think it is an extremely distasteful depiction of the blessed mother.

Rc church will latinize Anglican ordinate eventually....now it looks honky-dory..but years later..mandatory celibacy, eta,eta...This happened to eastern rite churches in 1930s. USA BISHOPS told eastern rite priests ---mandatory celibacy and act like RC Latin rite churches...one priest FR TOTH from Johnstown PA would not cave into their demands.

I don't think so...our little church in Bishop, Georgia is so special when our Catholic friends come celebrate mass with us they are drawn in. Something is changing. We have heard for the past few decades that young people are not coming to church but our church is filled with young couples and students from the University of Georgia. We do pot-luck lunch every Sunday and it is the highlight of the week. Bringing back the old idea of a parish church. We know each others names. I told Father when I first got there that they are going to outgrow the location and he said we will never outgrow this little church because when we do it's time to bring up another one just down the road. Maybe we will change the RC church. God is so good...God is in control...all is well.

Celibacy IS the norm of the church. IF one is married, and gets ordained, that condition of celibacy should be required. Meaning the spouses live as brother/sister. And when the spouse dies, the priest cannot enter into another marriage but will remain celibate the rest of his life.

Celibacy is already the norm, and has been since day 1, for the Ordinariate. There are exceptions for priests who are already married and are converting (it wouldn't be right to ask them to divorce their wives in order to convert, after all). The seminarians are and always have been celibate.
