Pope Benedict XVI has approved a structure for admitting large groups of Anglicans wishing to come into communion with the Catholic Church ^[1]

The structure isn’t exactly a personal prelature, as I predicted, but it sounds awful close. It is a “Personal Ordinariate,” which will be similar to military dioceses (which personal prelatures are somewhat modeled after). This is incredibly wonderful news and I rejoice that Anglicans will have an easy way to enter into the Church in large numbers. I pray that many of these brothers and sisters – both from the Traditional Anglican Communion and from the worldwide Anglican communion – will soon enter into Peter’s barque and celebrate the Eucharist with us.
