So we have this provision:<br /><br />- When necessary, priests, with the permission of the Ordinary, may engage in a secular profession compatible with the exercise of priestly ministry.<br /><br />There are a number of provisions that ensure that an Anglican Ordinariate retains close ties with its local Latin Rite Diocese:<br /><br />- Formation of the clergy of the Ordinariate should accomplish two objectives: 1) joint formation with diocesan seminarians in accordance with local circumstances; 2) formation, in full harmony with Catholic tradition, in those aspects of the Anglican patrimony that are of particular value.<br /><br />- If there is no vicar, in the event of absence, incapacity, or death of the pastor, the pastor of the territorial parish in which the church of the personal parish is located can exercise his faculties as pastor so as to supply what is needed.<br /><br />- The clerics incardinated in the Ordinariate should be available to assist the Diocese in which they have a domicile or quasi-domicile, where it is deemed suitable for the pastoral care of the faithful. In such cases they are subject to the Diocesan Bishop in respect to that which pertains to the pastoral charge or office they receive.<br /><br />- Where and when it is deemed suitable, clergy incardinated in a Diocese or in an Institute of Consecrated Life or a Society of Apostolic Life, with the written consent of their respective Diocesan Bishop or their Superior, can collaborate in the pastoral care of the Ordinariate. In such case they are subject to the Ordinary in respect to that which pertains to the pastoral charge or office they receive.Mark Scott Abelnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06692448528819277158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-29219218454353413892009-11-10T07:29:48.162-06:002009-11-10T07:29:48.162-06:00Amen to your remarks regarding contemporary Catholic worship, especially the part sometimes called &quot;music&quot;.omommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13664167848641663536noreply@blogger.com
