How long will Rome tolerate this situation?
Here are some quick observations on the Pope's Ordinariate project, which it's now clear requires an intervention from Rome if the "second wave" of ex-Anglican converts is to materialise.
1. Archbishop Vincent Nichols does not regard the provision of a main church for the Ordinariate as a priority. Here's what he said at a recent press conference: "I think that is something probably beyond their resources at the present time, and I don’t think the Ordinariate would thank us, actually, to simply give it responsibility for a church that it would have to then maintain and upkeep."

Nichols is only being frank, the recent inductees haven't the resources to entirely go through the charade. The three characters in the above photo have feathered their own nests. Now their on the receiving end of the same pastoral care they gave to Protestant Churchmen ...none!
