First Anglican Ordinariate in U.S.- January 1, 2012

Donald Cardinal Wuerl confirmed today (11/15/11) that an Anglican Ordinariate will be established in the U.S. on January 1st, 2012 (I bet it's just a coincidence, because January 1st is simply the beginning of the year, but it also coincides with the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God).

While you can read the news release here, you might want to check out this website for a more engaged look into what Cardinal Wuerl had to say about the upcoming erection of the ordinariate.


There is one thing I would like to highlight:

There are, apparently, more Ordinariate-bound priests than parishes to serve. Until there are enough parishes in the Ordinariate to utilize them, those priests will "serve also in local Latin Rite parishes or in the military archdiocese also until the Ordinariate itself begins to grow and need them all."

You should also check out what the Anglican Patrimony has to offer to the Catholic Church (it's humorous).

So, are you looking forward to the new Ordinariate in the U.S.? What do you think about it all? Leave some comments!
