Conversations. These conversations, between Anglicans and Catholics, took place in Belgium from 1921 to1927 and the participants included Bishop Charles Gore, Bishop Walter Frere and Lord Halifax on the Anglican side Rt Revd Mgr Keith Newton Mgr Keith Newton and Cardinal Mercier, the Archbishop Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of OLW of Malines, and the Abbé Portal on Honorary President of the Friends of the Ordinariate the Catholic side. Unfortunately, they did not produce any tangible results but they were significant in that they paved the way for the future Anglican/Catholic commission initiated by Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Michael Ramsey following their meeting in Rome in 1966. The Malines Conversations put forward the idea of an Anglican Church in communion with the See of Peter ‘united but not absorbed’. This became a founding principle of the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission whose work still continues though sadly without the great hopes and expectations of the 60s and 70s. Of course, the founding of the three Ordinariates in the United Kingdom, North America and Australia did not together in Malines in the early part of the twentieth century. fulfil all the hopes and dreams of those who met and talked at least the whole Church of England though one wonders howThey realistic were talking that was. about Nevertheless, the whole Anglican the Ordinariates Communion are orat HE Cardinal Mercier (1851-1926) point forward to greater possibilities in the future.

  • Christian Unity: a Prayer of the Ages
    ZENIT ZE11012105 - 2011-01-21 Permalink: http://www.zenit.org/article-31529?l=english Christian Unity: A Prayer of the Ages Establishment of Anglican Ordinariate Marks Important Step By Father Juan R. Vélez LOS ANGELES, California, JAN. 21, 2010 (Zenit.org).- The second part of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century have shown significant developments in the ecumenical movement, the work of uniting Christians in their religious beliefs, practices and ecclesiastical authority. Last Saturday, the establishment of the first ordinariate -- a structure similar to that of a diocese -- for Anglicans who wish to be in full communion with the Catholic Church marks an important step in this ecumenical movement. The work of promoting unity between Christians was begun by Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, who taught his disciples to love one another and to forgive each other their faults. He chose Peter and his successor to be the visible head of his Church, and before his death, he prayed to the Father that all his disciples would maintain the unity of the faith and thus give glory to God and lead others to believe in God. Christians, out of human weakness and fallen nature, have however, been divided over the centuries. From the first centuries, bishops and Christian writers have attempted to reunite separated Christians with mixed results. The greatest divisions among Christians resulted in separation with the Orthodox in the 11th century, and Protestants and Anglicans in 16th centuries. These divisions had many complicated causes, including cultural and political elements, and led to greater separation.

  • The Epistle: February 2016
    St. Luke’s Ordinariate Parish Washington DC The Epistle Our Man in Houston The gospel for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas) tells the story of Christ being presented in the temple. William Cardinal Levada, preaching at the ordination of Bishop Steven Lopes, said that while outwardly fulfilling the law, “in reality [Jesus] was coming to meet his believing people. Among the believing people he met in the Jerusalem temple, the names of Simeon and Anna have sounded down the ages. But the liturgy is not simply about a past event.” “On Candlemas Day in this year of grace 2016,” the Cardinal continued, “Jesus has come again to meet his believing people in word and sacrament. The people of faith Jesus has come to meet today is us, you and me – the Church. And the name that Volume 2, Issue 2 will go forward from this day in this encounter with Christ is that of Steven Joseph February 2016 Lopes.” 2 At Houston's Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Monsignor Steven Lopes was consecrated as the first bishop of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter in a ceremony that has drawn widespread praise for its beauty and solemnity. The principal consecrator was Gerhard Cardinal Müller, Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, where Bishop Lopes was an official until Pope Francis appointed him as bishop. Co-consecrators were Washington's Donald Cardinal Wuerl, who has been a good friend of the Ordinariate, and Cardinal Levada, who recalled in his sermon that he had ordained Bishop Lopes, a California native, to the priesthood in 2001 when he was the Archbishop of San Francisco.

  • Church of the Incarnation & the Catholic Church
    Church of the Incarnation & the Catholic Church September 2012 On September 16, 2012, 140 members of the former Anglican Cathedral of the Incarnation, in College Park, are being received into the Catholic Church as part of a new national structure called the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. What is the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter? The Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter was established by the Vatican on January 1, 2012 in response to repeated requests by former Anglican groups and clergy seeking to become Catholic. The ordinariate provides a way for Anglican parishes and groups to enter the Catholic Church in "corporate reunion"; that is, as a group and not simply as individuals. They retain their Anglican liturgical heritage and traditions while being fully Catholic. The U.S. ordinariate includes the United States and Canada. It is equivalent to a diocese, but national in scope, and is led by Rev. Monsignor Jeffrey N. Steenson. A Catholic priest, he is the former Episcopal Bishop of Rio Grande; is based in Houston, Texas; and is a full member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. As of September 2012, 22 former Anglican or Episcopal priests had been ordained Catholic priests for the ordinariate, and 20 parishes or groups had been received into the Catholic Church. More are in the process of joining. Background In November 2009, in response to repeated and persistent inquiries from Anglican groups worldwide who were seeking to become Catholic, Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic constitution called Anglicanorum coetibus (pronounced Anglican-orum chay-tee-boose).
