Leutgeb of Bara Brith fame has, in her understated way, put up a link for anyone who wishes to become a friend of the Friends of the Ordinariate, while speculating on the bun-fight which might have followed...
I would also like to offer my congratulations to all those concerned.
I was slightly amused to see this photo on Facebook. The hordes of supporters calling for the Holy Father to ordain women...
...almost outnumbered by the cameraman and the interviewer...
What, exactly, has to happen before these sad individuals realise that they are flogging a dead horse? It is just never going to happen...
Thanks to Peter Williams for the photo!
UPDATE: The Reluctant Sinner was actually present at the ordinations, so do go over and read his account...

I wonder who owns the suitcase? Maybe it belongs to the two protesters, who have packed their bags and are heading off for a cruise on HMS Church of England (if so, let's hope they've packed a life-jacket, too, for that old ship is sinking fast)!?
These people are sad, and completely out of touch with the Church (local or universal).
I was there, too, and wrote a little about it (which I managed to do a few mins after the event). I also managed to get a photo of all those cameramen and journalists perched on the pulpit!

Poor dears - someone ought to have taken them somewhere for a cup of tea and a warm ....
Oh dear,poor deluded ladies!
" He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no-one knows except him who receives it." Rev 2:17. ??
I'm outside the British Isles, so I can't be a Friend of the Ordinariate. But I support the Ordinariate all the same. The blood of many martyrs has brought us this moment, and it's only the beginning.
Isn't this just like the Holy Father's visit! They HAD to have protestors- so a few out of work actors appear to have obliged.
But did they have the dingly-dangly earrings? A must-have vestment for lady wannabes.
