So, Again, What's The Appeal?

A recent post at the Anglicanroum Coetibus Socity blog includes a photo of the altar at the Holy Ghost parish in Bethlehem, PA, where the resuscitated, to-be-renamed, ordnariate group is to meet at 5:00 PM Sundays (the time slot otherwise used for the Lithuanian mass at other parishes). One might indeed call the altar "stunningly beautiful", but where is the Anglicanorum in the coetibus? Its style is clearly baroque, which according to Wikipedia

was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art and music. . . . The classical repertoire is crowded, dense, overlapping, loaded, in order to provoke shock effects.

Well and good, but it isn't Anglican or Gothic. My regular correspondent notes of the parish,

The new host parish of the so-far unnamed Ordinariate group (originally dedicated to then-Bl John Henry Newman but now to be renamed, I gather) shares a pastor with another Catholic church in Bethlehem; both were former “ethnic” parishes, one German, one a merger (in 2008) of four or five other ethnic parishes. So there appears to be, if anything, an over-supply of churches for local Catholics to choose from. There are two TEC parishes in Bethlehem, plus the TEC diocesan cathedral, but the nearest “continuing” Anglican parish is in Allentown, so not a hotbed of Anglican disgruntlement, at least to the superficial eye.

Original notice of the group's first mass (January 19, 2014) on Facebook includes a comment from an attendee named Claudio Salvucci, not the most Episcopalian name one has ever heard. At one point there was a website but no trace remains. This post does suggest there was an initial group of new converts.

The whole thing seems to be a chowder of sorta-kinda Catholic stuff, but I don't have any sense of focus, and certainly nothing particularly Anglicanorum in the coetibus. In fact, I'll bet if Bp Lopes could get the name of the constitution changed to eliminate the "Anglican", he'd do it, but then, what would be the excuse for the boondoggle?

Holy Ghost's regular Sunday mass is at 10:00. Other than some thees and thous and the Cranmerian insertions, what's to keep the new group from that mass -- or indeed, any mass closer to home?

Maybe more to the basic point, what's the "Anglican patrimony" beyond wine hour after mass and a few campy priests? What we're actually seeing is some mediocre ex Lutheran or Methodist clergy ministering to a few dozen poorly catechized congregants in off hour time slots at whatever Catholic venue will take them in. Not very inspiring.

Wouldn't these people be better off integrating into the diocesan parish mainstream, meeting people and making friends at the 10:00 AM?
