Welcome and Congratulations Msgr. Steenson!

Whispers in the Loggia reports on his installation yesterday:

Clad in the pontificalia of a bishop yet still the married father of three, this Sunday made for a unique moment in the life of the Stateside church as Jeffrey Steenson -- once head of the Episcopal church's most sprawling diocese -- was liturgically installed as founding shepherd of thenationwide Ordinariatefor Anglicans entering the Catholic communion, dedicated to the Chair of St Peter.
While the Anglican Use Mass in the Cathedral of the new jurisdiction's see-city of Houston had initially been slated for next Sunday to coincide with the venture's patronal feast, the liturgy was moved up in light of next weekend's consistory to accommodate the presence of two of the top Vatican project's key American movers: Cardinals Donald Wuerl of Washington (Rome's delegate for the US' implementation of Anglicanorum coetibus) and Galveston-Houston's Daniel DiNardo, who's released his archdiocese's Our Lady of Walsingham parish to serve as the Ordinariate's de facto cathedral, technically termed its "principal church."

With the Ordinariate's erection by CDF decree on New Year's Day, the number of American Catholic jurisdictions now stands at 198. Some hundred priests and as many as two thousand laity are expected to enter the structure just in its first wave; the first community to directly join the Ordinariate, Baltimore's Mount Calvary parish, was received by Steenson in late January. Given earlier indications from north of the border, the reach of the quasi-diocese is likewise to include Canadian groups seeking to take up Pope Benedict's 2009 offer of joint entry to Anglican communities wishing to full communion en masse.
Following sign-offs from the Vatican and their local Latin-rite bishop, the Ordinariate's approved candidates for priesthood will soon begin an expedited online program of formation, with the first of the crop likely to be ordained before year's end.
