Anglo-Catholics and the Ordinariate @DJClayworth ordinariate.org.uk/page.aspx?pid=405 (2011 figures; more have joined since then). usordinariate.org/faq.html (although I may have misunderstood and those figures are intending members rather than current actual members). |

Is it true the term 'pontifex maximus' was the name of the high priest of the Roman Cult of Emperor Worship, before being adopted by the Pope? Is there anything which the Wikipedia article does not cover? |

Anglo-Catholics and the Ordinariate Thank you for the introduction @PeterTurner! I'll see what I can find out about numbers (but it's not easy, or there would have been no need for the question) |

Why aren't I considered illegitimate? To answer the last comment explicitly, children cannot become illegitimate. If a valid marriage is annulled, it doesn't change the status of any children. |

What translation does the Catholic Breviary of England use for Psalms? I don't think there's anything else to add! The answer's right; I can bear your research out from experience. I didn't intend to muscle in, although some expansion of the OP's implication of all England needed clarification (again from experience). |

Does the Bible condone bribery? @Kyomu Ah: a baby's dummy/pacifier to stop a tantrum? |

Why aren't I considered illegitimate? From the question and its tags, I think the answer to "Define legitimate" would be "Legitimate according to Roman Canon Law", which this answer doesn't address. |

What translation does the Catholic Breviary of England use for Psalms? Note that the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham uses the Revised Standard Version (2nd Catholic Edition) for readings at Mass. The Ordinariate's Breviary has not yet been published. |

How does Pope Benedict XVI reconcile conscience and authority? Newman was received into the Catholic Church in 1845, and Gladstone wrote his "expostulation" in 1874. That said, Newman did indeed reject ecclesiastical authority and the Church of England, when he followed his informed conscience and joined the Roman Church. |

What is the point of Jesus' crucifixion? Well of course Jesus is God (although not necessarily one and the same). I'm not entirely sure what point your answer makes. |

What is the purpose of godparents? I don't believe this answer is correct. Catholic godparents do not make that promise, Catholic canon law doesn't require that commitment, and it's not universal in statute law either (other family members would come first). A reference for this is required. |

Where was Jesus before the events of the New Testament? This is also borne out in the Prologue to John's gospel. |
