At least 20 clergy and several hundred of their parishioners
are already lined up to join the Ordinariate, the new structure set
up by the Pope a year ago that allows them to remain some of their
Anglican heritage while entering into full communion with the Holy
See. But many more members of the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church
of England are likely to defect following a critical meeting of its
governing body, the General Synod, if traditionalists who cannot
accept the ordination of women are denied special provision.
