What are the new rules that the Roman Catholic Church announced for admitting Anglicans?
Groups of Anglicans will be able to join the Roman Catholic Church but maintain a distinct religious identity under changes announced by the Pope. Under its terms announced by the Vatican, groupings of Anglicans would be able to join “personal ordinariates”. This would allow them to enter full communion with the Catholic church, but also preserve elements of the Anglican traditions including the possible use of Anglican prayer books.
