The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter
On January 1, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI established the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter for those groups of Anglicans in the United States who seek to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. This is the second Ordinariate created in light of the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, the first having been created for England and Wales on Jan. 15, 2011. The Pope’s gracious response represents an important and exciting new step along the difficult path toward Christian unity.
Detail from Nicholas Poussin’s The Sacrament of Ordination (ca. 1636). Christ entrusts to St. Peter the keys of heaven, investing him with authority to gather and govern the apostolic community.
With grateful acknowledgment to the Kimball Art Museum, Fort Worth.
