Pope Benedict encouraged the Catholic Bishops of England to be generous in implementing the Ordinariates as described in Anglicanorum Coetibus. He addressed the bishops at Oscott College, where Blessed John Henry Newman gave his great "Second Spring" sermon at the first Westminster Synod in 1852, two years after the restoration of the hierarchy!
Now the date of Blessed John Henry Newman's feast day really makes sense: October 9, the anniversary of his becoming a Catholic! Blessed John Henry is the guide for England to return to her Catholic roots, to refound Mary's Dowry!
