About The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham in England and Wales:
Over the past few decades, many former Episcopalians and Anglicans have become disilusioned by the path that these churches have taken….everything from female priests, gay weddings, and a host of other changes to traditional beliefs. As a result, they were looking for a new home……and that was the Catholic Church.
In 2009, under Pope Benedict XVI issued the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus establishing The Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham as a community for clergy and laypeople who celebrate according to the Anglican Use within the Catholic Church.
In little more than a year, four former Church of England bishops came into full communion with the Catholic Church, either through the ordinary Roman Catholic diocese or through the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, a Catholic diocese with Anglican traditions for the United Kingdom established under Pope Benedict XVI in 2009 .
