Personal ordinariate

A personal ordinariate for former Anglicans,[1][2] shortened as personal ordinariate or Anglican ordinariate,[3][4] is a canonical structure within the Catholic Church established in order to enable "groups of Anglicans"[5] and Methodists to join the Catholic Church while preserving elements of their liturgical and spiritual patrimony.

Created in accordance with the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum coetibus of 4 November 2009[6][7][8][9] and its complementary norms,[10] the ordinariates are juridically equivalent to a diocese,[11] "a particular church in which and from which exists the one and unique Catholic Church",[12] but may be erected in the same territory as other dioceses "by reason of the rite of the faithful or some similar reason".[12]

Three personal ordinariates were established between 2011 and 2012:
