[OLDCATH-L] [old_catholic] Anglicans in Australia Unanimously Vote to Become Catholic

[Sibyl Smirl]

Okay, the Roman Catholics blew it up bigger than it is.  (Note that some
of the FiF people involved are Anglican Splinter people, already Not In
Communion with the Anglican Communion.)

Thanks to Eleanor Braun for finding this, but I'm not asking permission,
because it's just the link she sent to Another List.

Forward in Faith Australia Inc. and the Apostolic Constitution
Feb 15, 2010

FORWARD IN FAITH AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED

A Special General Meeting of Members of Forward in Faith Australia Inc.
was held on Saturday 13 February at All Saints Kooyong in Melbourne to
consider the following recommendations from the National Council
regarding the future direction of the Association.

     1. That this Special General Meeting of FiFA receives with great
gratitude the Apostolic Constitution “Anglicanorum Coetibus” of Pope
Benedict XV1 and directs the National Council to foster by every means
the establishing of an Ordinariate in Australia. And furthermore this
Special General Meeting reaffirms its commitment to provide care and
support for those who at this time feel unable to be received  into the
Ordinariate.
     2. That we warmly welcome the appointment of Bishop Peter Elliott as
delegate of the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference in the project
to establish a Personal  Ordinariate in this country.
     3. That we note the formation of a working group with Bishop Elliott
comprising Members of Forward in Faith Australia, the Traditional
Anglican Communion, and the Anglican Church of Australia, to set in
train the processes necessary for establishing an Australian Ordinariate.
     4. That we give notice as to the establishing of Friends of the
Australian Ordinariate and invite members of Forward in Faith Australia
and other interested persons for expressions of interest by provision of
names and addresses at this meeting, or by contacting the Chairman,
noting that this does not commit interested persons to joining the
Ordinariate.

The Meeting passed each of these Resolutions unanimously.
The Right Reverend David Robarts OAM. National Chairman.

   Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
   Phl 4:8
