The Anglican Patrimony In Catholic Communion

"Anglicanorum Coetibus was the Apostolic Constitution establishing the Anglican Ordinariate on the 4th November, 2009, so that members of the Church of England and other Anglican communities around the world could enter into full Communion with members of the Catholic Church while retaining their own liturgical Rites and other cultural elements of what is called the "Anglican Patrimony". The argument was that various elements of the patrimony were too precious to be lost by members of the Anglican community entering the Catholic Church on an individual basis. There was also an understanding that for a significant number of Anglicans the barrier to full communion with the Catholic Church was primarily cultural rather than primarily doctrinal. It was these 'cultural elements' which were thought to be worthy of preservation. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Anglicanorum Coetibus Tracey Rowland gathers together the leading voices in the field to examine the issue of the Anglican Patrimony and its relevance for Christians today"--

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Anglicanorum Coetibus, Tracey Rowland gathers together leading voices to examine the issue of the Anglican Patrimony and its relevance for Christians today. The Anglicanorum Coetibus is the 2009 papal decree which established the Anglican Ordinariate within the Catholic Church, and this volume examines the longstanding effects of this cultural decree. Rowland introduces different aspects of the culture of Anglicanism, explains the concept of an Ordinariate within the context of ecumenical theory, and examines aspects of Anglican liturgical theology and pastoral life.

When in 1993 Aidan Nichols revived the long-dormant idea of an Anglican Uniate Church, united with the See of Peter but not absorbed, the reaction of many was incredulity. The ideal of modern Ecumenism was, surely, the corporate reunification of entire Communions. This he roundly declared to be unrealistic, for the Protestant and Liberal elements in Anglican history (and Anglicanism's present reality) could never be digested by Roman stomachs. What was feasible was, rather, the reconciliation of a select body Catholic enough to be united, and Anglican enough not to be absorbed. Just over a dozen years later Pope Benedict XVI, responding to the petitions of various Anglican bishops, promulgated the Apostolic Constitution Apostolorum coetibus and the deed was done. The three 'Ordinariates' now established for 'Catholics of the Anglican Patrimony' in Britain, Australia and North America have been described as the first tangible fruit of Catholic Ecumenism. In this short book Nichols reflects on the historical, theological, and liturgical issues involved. He also shows the congruence of the new development with Benedict's wider thinking, and outlines a specific missionary vocation for reconciled Anglicans in England.

The Code of Particular Canon Law of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church provides the totality of Particular Canon Law as pertains to this Church. This edition contains the revisions and annotations of 2014, along with supplements for liturgical norms, pastoral visitation, and the admission of congregations. The Old Holy Roman Church of the English Rite (Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church) is an autonomous and semi-autocephalous Old Roman Catholic Patriarchate with Anglican patrimony descended from the Roman Catholic See of Utrecht. The See of Utrecht was granted autonomy from Rome by the Holy See in 1145 and has remained independent. Modernly known as the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church (ARRCC), the Patriarchate is faithful to the magisterium of eternal Rome and the eternal One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church. While it embraces the current Roman Communion (commonly referred to as the Roman Catholic Church), the Anglican Ordinariate, the Anglican Communion, and other Catholic and Anglican bodies as brethren, they are not administratively bound with the ARRCC.

This is a daily prayer book for the Ordinariate – those former Anglicans who have recently become a distinct part of the Roman Catholic Church. In creating the Ordinariate, Pope Benedict recognised the treasures that Anglicans brought with them from their own tradition and this book is replete with the riches of Anglican patrimony. It contains material from the Anglican tradition, adapted according to the Roman rite including: • an order for morning, evening and night prayer throughout the year • spiritual readings for the Christian year • the minor offices • calendar and lectionary tables For use throughout the English speaking world, this unique volume will fill an immediate need.

The beginning of a specifically Anglican liturgy and culture within the Roman Catholic Church was established in the United Sates by Pope John Paul II. Since then, Anglican Use parishes have been worshipping in a distinctively Anglican style within several American dioceses. Thanks to Pope Benedict XVI, these communities are now able to form into personal ordinariates led by bishops who were previously Anglican clergy. As a result, even more Anglicans seeking full communion with Rome can find a home within the Catholic Church. The twelve essays in this book discuss the reasons Anglicans have sought reconciliation with the Holy See, while retaining elements of their own liturgy and traditions. They explore the history and scope of Pope John Paul II's Pastoral Provision and Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Constitution and examine the needs of the new ordinariates if they are to flourish. Also considered are the changes to the Roman liturgy since the Second Vatican Council and the specific patrimony that Anglicans bring to Catholic worship. Many of these essays have been written by erstwhile Anglican clergymen who have been ordained into the Catholic priesthood (and one into the episcopate). A few are by Catholic experts on this topic. There is also a contribution from a woman who had been an ordained Episcopal priest before becoming a Catholic. Here is a wealth of information for anyone interested in the Anglican communities within the Catholic Church, the "reform of the reform" of the Roman liturgy or the testimonies of Anglicans who have become Roman Catholics.
