THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus A DISSERTATION SubmiFed to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctorate in Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By James Daniel Bradley Washington, D.C. 2017 The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus James Daniel Bradley, J.C.D. Director: Kurt Martens, J.C.D. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus is a response to petitions from groups of Anglicans to be received into communion with the Holy See in a corporate manner. This dissertation examines the origin of such petitions, the development of the principles guiding the response, and an analysis of the legislation. Chapter One traces the origins of corporate reunion from Newman to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in particular the Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom and the Malines Conversations. Chapter Two discusses the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council with respect to ecumenism and Anglicanism. It examines the establishment of relations between Anglicans and the Holy See, the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), and proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans in the Diocese of Amritsar, the United States, the Diocese of Matabeleland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter Three considers the overtures made by groups of Anglicans from 2005 to 2009. This includes the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Church of England bishops, and the Traditional Anglican Communion. It details the announcement, reception, and implementation of Anglicanorum coetibus. Chapter Four examines proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans including the Church sui iuris, the personal prelature, and the personal apostolic administration. The notion of ordinariates is discussed with respect to the Latin ordinariates for Eastern faithful and military ordinariates. Chapter Five considers the implementation of the provision of Anglicanorum cœtibus, in particular the transmission of the Anglican patrimony through personal parishes, the liturgical provision, the formation of clergy, and ecumenical dialogue. The General Conclusion proposes two further developments: the extension of the objective criteria for eligibility for membership of a personal ordinariate, and the eventual erection of personal dioceses. Extensive appendices contain documentation pertaining to the development of the canonical model for the corporate reunion of Anglicans with the Catholic Church. This dissertation by James Daniel Bradley fulfils the dissertation requirements for the doctoral degree in Canon Law approved by Kurt Martens, J.C.D., as Director, and Ronny E. Jenkins, J.C.D., and William L. Daniel, J.C.D., as Readers. _______________________________ Kurt Martens, J.C.D., Director _______________________________ Ronny E.

  • Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop

    Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop

    CANON 294 ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIOCESAN BISHOP What is the relationship of the faithful in personal ecclesiastical circumscriptions to the local diocesan bishop? OPINION The Apostolic See, in the Annual General Statistical Questionnaire, asks diocesan bishops the number of priests in the ecclesiastical circumscription of the diocese, their country of origin and whether they are diocesan or religious. The fact that the diocesan bishop is answering these questions indicates the close relationship between himself and any personal Ecclesiastical Circumscription. Canons 215 and 216 of the 1917 Code required that ecclesiastical circumscriptions be territorial within a diocese and an apostolic indult was needed, for example, to establish personal parishes for an ethnic group of the faithful. After World War II, Pope Pius XII provided for the pastoral care of refugees and migrants in his apostolic constitution Exsul Familia in 1952. Chaplains for migrants were granted special faculties to facilitate pastoral care without receiving the power of jurisdiction or governance. The Second Vatican Council admitted personal criteria in ecclesiastical organisation. The decree Christus Dominus 11 held that the essential element of a particular Church is personal, being a “portion of the people of God”. Personal factors are crucial to determine the communitarian aspect of the makeup of a community. After Vatican II, the Code of Canon Law needed revision. The Synod of Bishops in 1967 approved the principles to guide the revision of the code. The eighth principle stated: “The principle of territoriality in the exercise of ecclesiastical government is to be revised somewhat, for contemporary apostolic factors seem to recommend personal jurisdictional units.

    Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church

    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

    VOLUME I · NUMBER 3 SEPTEMBER 1940 Theological Studies CHURCH UNITY AND PROTESTANT MISSIONS EDWARD L. MURPHY, SJ. WESTON COLLEGE Weston, Mass. FFORTS towards unity among certain Protestant groups E have been considered newsworthy of late by the secular press. One has in mind the projected unity among Presby­ terians and the Protestant Episcopal Church of America and the apparently accomplished unity among the divisions of Methodists last year. Many reasons may be assigned for these attempts and successes, but it would be impossible to under­ stand adequately this movement among the denominations without some idea of the missionary development of these groups. The rapid geographical extension of denominational* ism, almost exclusively the work of a century and a quarter, with its consequent enormous expenditures of money and per­ sonnel has had two effects upon denominationalism. In the first place, it has impressed upon the groups the necessity for unity in view of the weakness of division, and secondly it has at the same time complicated the attainment of the unity. Confronted with the millions of pagans in a country such as China or India, the denomination eventually realized the futility and practical impossibility of cutting into such a large mass of error and ignorance by its own individual efforts. The 210 THEOLOGICAL STUDIES denomination necessarily looked about for kinship with other forms of Christianity for the sake not merely of numerical advance but even of survival in the face of such overwhelming odds. It soon became painfully obvious, after the first rush of zeal, that such a mass could not be Christianized by the Lutherans alone, nor the Baptists alone, especially when the de­ nomination had to face the opposition both of paganism and of divergent groups of Christianity.

It is very clear that, follow- ing official advice and in order to keep each other safe, save lives and support the NHS, at this time we must not gather for public acts of worship in our churches. This will begin from Friday evening, 20th March 2020, until further notice. Our churches will remain open. They are not closing.

In visiting our churches at this time, we will observe with great care the practices of hygiene and the guidance on social dis- tancing. However, the celebration of Mass, Sunday Tributes paid to by Sunday and day by day, will take place without a public congregation. Knowing that the Mass is being celebrated; joining in spiritually in that celebration; watch- ing the live-streaming of the Mass; following its prayers at home; making an act of spiritual Archbishop Peter communion: this is how we share in the Sac- rifice of Christ in these days.

    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.
