Traditional Anglo-Catholicism rather - the belief that the Anglican Church is part of a greater Catholic Church on the decentralised model of the Eastern Churches, and that it is the successor of the Church of Augustine, Aidan, Bede and Boniface. There is going to be a continuing struggle between the evangelicals (who believe it is essentially a Protestant church founded at the Reformation) and the liberals (who believe in modernity uber alles). Damian Thompson has some thoughts here on the implications of the move and on the question of whether the new Anglican Ordinariate will succeed in maintaining a separate identity or be quietly suffocated by the liberals and ecumenists among the English hierarchy and elsewhere who hope Pope benedict will die soon and his reforms will then be quietly shelved. Ad multos annos! blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100062888/the-church-of-england-loses-five-bishops-in-a-single-day-now-will-people-take-the-ordinariate-seriously/ BTW there are traditionalists as well as liberals who are hostile to the Ordinariate - in their case because they believe the Anglican Church was always and essentially Protestant and that its historical associations with snobbery and persecution make it undesirable that any of its traditions should survive within the Church. There are quite a few problems with this view, one being that it is not how Rome has handled historically schismatic Eastern-rite communities who returned to communion with Rome. (For example, there is an Alexandrian Coptic Patriarch in communion with Rome - the current one has just been nominated as a Cardinal) even though the original Coptic schism involved a serious Christological dispute. Might I respectfully suggest that this discussion should be continued on the existing Anglican thread, as this makes it easier to refer back to earlier events and contributions? I make this suggestion as a matter of courtesy - I'm not going to throw anyone off the board for not following it.
