The Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (ACCC) has voted to join with the See of St. Peter through the guidelines of
Anglicanorum Coetibus, the
Apostolic Constitution created by Pope Benedict XVI (
the Complementary Norms can be found here). Support for the Ordinariate was unanimous in the House of Clergy and received 25 of 30 votes from lay delegates (two members opposing the proposal and three abstaining).
The Catholic News Agency has more information if you're interested.
Right now,
the Catholic Church has approximately 1.166 billion children. I think that when the statistics come out in a few years, the numbers will have risen once again as a result of this beautiful constitution. The Anglican Church just can't stay above water.
Rowan Williams is losing power, and the
ACCC isn't the first to vote to join the Catholic Church.
