Which Shared Treasure Is St Oliver Plunkett?

It was probably about ten years ago that Bp Kevin Vann, then Bishop of Fort Worth, received several former Episcopal priests as Catholics in the runup to the North American ordinariate. In his homily, he made a pointed reference to St Oliver Plunkett. This sent me to a web search. It's plain that Bp Vann, now delegate for the Pastoral Provision, wasn't going to utter bromides about precious treasures of any spiritual patrimonies.

Plunkett was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn on 1 July 1681 (11 July NS), aged 55, the last Catholic martyr to die in England.

The rest of the story can be found at the link. His head is now at St Peter's Church in Drogheda, Ireland, while most of the rest of his body is at Downside Abbey in the UK, where the noted Catholic convert and theologian B C Butler was in residence. Butler has noting to say of shared treasures, by the way. To the contrary, he argued with force and erudition that Anglicanism is schismatic.

Bp Vann, it seems to me, spoke with some insight into the problem of somehow glossing over the important differences between an amorphous thing called "Anglicanism" and Roman Catholicism, which has an identifiable magisterium and a catechism. And what's beginning to puzzle me is the lack of insight in Bp Lopes's own public statements.

For instance, what I quoted yesterday from the Register contains absolutely nothing new:

[Bp Lopes] said Benedict XVI, when he established the ordinariates through the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus, recognized the Anglican patrimony is a “treasure to be shared with the whole Church.”

“He is saying there is something about the way the faith was lived, celebrated and expressed in an English context that is actually an enrichment for the whole Church,” he said.

Well, how does the way the faith was lived, celebrated, and expressed in an English context" relate to St Oliver Plunkett? Bp Vann sees a certain irony there. Bp Lopes, not so much.

But this gets around to a more basic question that reminds me of a Beatles lyric

Neither, actually, does Bp Lopes. Is there any depth there? It's hard to avoid thinking he built his career, once Cardinal Levada was out of the picture, on this Divine Worship project, but having taken it about as far as anyone can, he's insisting that's pretty much the whole of Anglicanorum coetibus, and all he needs to do is cheerlead for it.
