Proposed Ordinariate Within The Roman Catholic Church
The TAC is currently discussing a form of union with the Roman Catholic Church and states that it has no doctrinal differences with Rome sufficient to prevent the success of this proposal. In October 2009, the ACCC welcomed an initiative from Pope Benedict XVI to create personal ordinariates for disaffected traditionalist Anglicans. On March 12, 2010, the ACCC formally requested the erection of an ordinariate in Canada. Since 2009, the ACCC has suffered some divisions over the apostolic constitution; seven of thirty-five parish groups (one fifth) removed themselves from the ACCC, for example. Partly in response to five ACCC priests receiving news from Roman Catholic authorities that they were not eligible for ordination in a future ordinariate, the ACCC divided into two non-geographical dioceses: the original Diocese of Canada (for parishes not ready or unwilling to enter into an ordinariate) and the Pro-Diocese of Our Lady of Walsingham (for parishes desiring to move forward into an ordinariate).

—D.H. (David Herbert)
