'Friends of the Ordinariate' launched in UK Feb 22, 2010 Forward in Faith is happy to commend to its members a new initiative, Friends of the Ordinariate, which invites all who are interested in the possibilities raised by the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus to register their names and then receive occasional email updates as plans for the Ordinariate develop in the UK. You can find out more from their web site by clicking here. 18 March 2010 More than 18,000 people have signed a petition in support of the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Britain later this year. It was opened in opposition to petitions from the National Secular Society and the human rights activist Peter Tatchell, calling for state funding to be withheld from the visit and for the Prime Minister to distance himself from the Pope’s views on matters including gay and women’s rights. Peter Tatchell’s petition has just over 7,000 signatures, and the National Secular Society 28,000. The petition in support of the visit is at petitiononline.com/PopeinUK Top
