Differences in the liturgy between Novus Ordo and the Anglican Use (2013)?
In 2009 Pope Benedict XVI established [personal ordinariate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_ordinariate) structure for Anglican groups wishing to join the Catholic Church while retaining elements of their "liturgical and spiritual patrimony". In 2013, the [Divine Worship: The Missal](https:/...
In 2009 Pope Benedict XVI established [personal ordinariate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_ordinariate) structure for Anglican groups wishing to join the Catholic Church while retaining elements of their "liturgical and spiritual patrimony". In 2013, the [Divine Worship: The Missal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Worship:_The_Missal) was promulgated to replace the [Book of Divine Worship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Divine_Worship) , an earlier Catholic adaptation of the [Book of Common Prayer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer) .
My question is for the difference between the [*Novus Ordo*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_of_Paul_VI) (Ordinary Form) liturgy that most Catholic parishes use and the 2013 "Anglican use" version. To prevent the answer to become unwieldy, the answer can limit itself only for the regular Sunday mass so it doesn't have to cover weddings, funeral, Easter or Christmas liturgies, although more is welcome !

Can a Catholic Priest in the Ordinariate be married to a non-Christian?

Mgr Burnham (as he now is) has subsequently been given Holy Orders i...
On Wikipedia, there is an unattributed assertion (not in the citation) that when the former Anglican Bishop Andrew Burnham was received into the Roman Catholic Church, his wife was not received with him because she was Jewish. Mgr Burnham (as he now is) has subsequently been given Holy Orders in the Roman Catholic Church as part of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham and is a local priest in Oxfordshire and appears to be still married.
This possibly spurious assertion spurred a hypothetical question for me: can a Roman Catholic priest in ordinariate be married to someone who is not Catholic? I know that lay Catholics are allowed to marry non-Catholics, but is there a special rule for priests (within the already special rule for priests in the ordinariate) given they have consecrated their life to the Church ? Does it matter that the marriage may have (as would be in the case of the Burnhams) been conducted before the priest in question became a Catholic?

How do the Personal Ordinariates differ from Anglicanism?
In 2009 Pope Benedict published an Apostolic Constitution called [Anglicanorum Coetibus][1] providing for the creation of Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans who wished to join the Roman Catholic Church. This, it says, was to maintain the liturgical, spiritual and pastoral tradition of the Anglican...
In 2009 Pope Benedict published an Apostolic Constitution called Anglicanorum Coetibus providing for the creation of Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans who wished to join the Roman Catholic Church.
This, it says, was to maintain the liturgical, spiritual and pastoral tradition of the Anglican Communion within the Catholic Church as a precious gift ... a treasure to be shared.
As far as I know there are now three of these Personal Ordinariates, one for Great Britain, one for North America and one for Australia and Japan.
In 1906 when some members of the Russian Orthodox Church formed an Eastern Rite
church, the Russian Greek Catholic Church, and asked Pope Pius IX what they needed to change in their Rite he said "nec plus, nec minus, nec altera" - add nothing, subtract nothing, change nothing.
I understand that a different approach was adopted with the Anglican (ex-Angllican?) Ordinarates than with the Eastern Rite Churches, but how does the doctrine or practice differ in the Ordinariates from in the Church of England (for example)? What has been added, what has been taken away and what has been changed?
(I have looked at the Ordinariate website and can't find anything specific.)

Does the Anglican Use have the capacity and resources to celebrate daily mass and if so, are there any Ordinariate communities which do?
In the Roman rite we have the Tridentine liturgy (Extraordinary form) and the Novus Ordo liturgy (Ordinary form). Both of these liturgies have unique liturgical calendars, and unique cycles of scripture readings and liturgical prayers (aka "Propers") that cover every day of the year. The Tridentine...
In the Roman rite we have the Tridentine liturgy (Extraordinary form) and the Novus Ordo liturgy (Ordinary form). Both of these liturgies have unique liturgical calendars, and unique cycles of scripture readings and liturgical prayers (aka "Propers") that cover every day of the year. The Tridentine Liturgy completes a cycle every year, while the Novus Ordo takes 3 years to complete a single cycle.
The important point is that it is possible for a priest to say mass on *any* day of the week on *any* day of the year using either of these liturgies and there will be associated prayers and readings specially selected for that particular day.
My question is, does the Anglican Ordinariate also have it's own exhaustive liturgical calendar, with set readings and prayers for every day of the year? Such that an Anglican Ordinariate Community could celebrate mass in the Anglican Use on any day of the week on any day of the year and still have their own unique set of readings and prayers for that particular day of the week?
And a follow up question, if the Anglican Use *does* have it's own cycle of prayers and readings, are there any Anglican Ordinariate communities who do indeed celebrate mass every day of the week, every day of the year according to this cycle of readings?

What liturgical calendar does the Anglican Ordinariate follow?
Is the liturgical calendar that the Anglican Ordinariates follow the same as the Novus Ordo (Ordinary Form) calendar, or the Tridentine (Extraordinary Form) calendar, or perhaps it is the same as the calendar used by protestant Anglo-Catholics? Or maybe it is something completely unique?
