Ordinariate News!

Though not, I fear, from the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter, although an Anglican Ordinary did in fact visit a US group. A visitor pointed me to this story, wherein Msgr Keith Newton of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham visited the St Augustine of Canterbury group in Carlsbad, CA.

Msgr Jeffrey Steenson of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter was not in the group photo and was not mentioned in the story.

Actually, if you go to the News Section of the UK Ordinariate page, you find a great deal happening. For instance, the US and Australian Ordinaries visited Msgr Newton in the UK just last month and apparently discussed many things. There is no mention of this meeting, or indeed anything since Easter 2014, on the US Ordinariate News Page. A separate website, apparently containing news from our distinguished Ordinary himself, has not been updated since July 4, 2014, when members of the Houston clique surveyed the progress of the Chancery's construction. The title of this separate news page is "Quo Vadis," to which someone might answer, "Nusquam", except that our distinguished Ordinary does not endorse the use of Latin.

A google of "'Jeffrey Steenson' 2015" brings up little new; just a mutter or two about the impending dedication of the Chancery; nothing about the UK visit.

I count 18 members in the Carlsbad group photo, not including clergy.
