[Español] [Italiano]

On September 16th, 2012, the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Orlando (Florida), of the Anglican Church of America, became the Catholic parish of the Incarnation in the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. With this step, there are now about twenty Anglican (Episcopalian) parishes or congregations that have joined the Catholic Church in the United States under the jurisdiction of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, erected on January 1st, 2012.

Meanwhile, on that same Sunday, Saint Mary the Virgin Catholic Parish in Arlington, Texas, announced that it would also enter to form part of the Ordinariate. This parish is one of seven created under the Pastoral Provision. Since 1994, it forms part of the Catholic diocese of Fort Worth (Texas), and will undergo a change of jurisdiction, entering into the Ordinariate.

What is interesting about this fact is that its 400 faithful – already Catholics – will now begin the process of joining the Ordinariate. The Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus (AC) stipulates that in order to be a member of an ordinariate, the following conditions must be met: proceed from Anglicanism (AC arts. I §4 y IX), receive some of the sacraments of initiation within the jurisdiction of the ordinariate (AC art. I §4), or be a «member of a family» which pertains to the ordinariate.

The 400 faithful who now will become members of the Ordinariate have lived for years according to the “Anglican Use” and have demonstrated how to preserve it. Although, in some cases, their transition to the Ordinariate supposes an extensive interpretation of the criteria mentioned, it seems that it will proceed as planned and, as Msgr. Steenson, Ordinary of the Chair of Saint Peter, stated in the letter which he sent to the faithful of the parish, all of them will be welcomed into the Ordinariate.

The bishop until now of the diocese of Fort Worth, Msgr. Kevin Vann, who recently transferred to the diocese of Orange, is also the delegate of the Holy See for the Pastoral Provision and has supported the process. It is still not clear if, outside the cases mentioned in Anglicanorum coetibus, there is a possibility of other Catholic faithful passing over to the jurisdiction of the Ordinariate, and under what conditions: permission of the bishop of the diocese, dispensation conceded by the Holy See, etc.
