My understanding is that uniate Anglican priests will be allowed to marry, though I did read that <i>new</i> Bishops for uniate Anglican Dioceses will be chosen from among the celibate clergy, as is the case with the uniate Eastern Churches.Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-21394626230264736402009-10-22T13:34:23.143-04:002009-10-22T13:34:23.143-04:00Dr. Carson:
Thanks for the kind response!
It was...Dr. Carson:<br /><br />Thanks for the kind response!<br /><br />It was my understanding (and, please, correct me if this is in error) that the Anglican Communion rejoining Rome wouldn't actually be absorbed into any of the already existing Roman Catholic archdiocese/diocese but that they would be allowed to exist independently of these, which I believed was the whole purpose of the Ordinariate.<br /><br />This would include not only the assured independent operation of the Anglican Communion archdiocese/diocese, but also their seminaries, their priesthood, and particular needs of formation in the Anglican patrimony, too.<br /><br />I guess I took the latter part to mean that since Anglican priests are allowed to be married, this will continue to be preserved in the new ordinariate.<br /><br />Did you mean to imply that this is not the case and that while married Anglican priests will be accomodated under the new ordinariate, its Anglican priesthood will now be reformed according to the strict requirements of the Roman rite (i.e., for all future candidates seeking holy orders in the new Anglican rite, they will now have to embrace celibacy)?vocesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-5640229671225486692009-10-21T21:36:44.371-04:002009-10-21T21:36:44.371-04:00That's a good question--to tell you the truth ...That's a good question--to tell you the truth I have no idea. I suppose you would have to transfer to the Anglican Use first--join a uniate Anglican Diocese, get ordained to the uniate Anglican priesthood, and then switch over to a Latin Rite Diocese. But I have no idea whether you would be permitted to do this, by either side!Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-1272719692802806092009-10-21T20:28:55.413-04:002009-10-21T20:28:55.413-04:00"...their priests, if married, will continue ..."...their priests, if married, will continue as priests in communion with Rome, and their Bishops will continue to have autonomy within their Dioceses."<br /><br />Will such an ordinariate allow for those folks in the Latin Rite who are married but couldn't pursue a vocation to do so in the Anglican Rite; i.e., in the Anglican ordinariate?vocesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-59810663890543821762009-10-21T18:12:43.103-04:002009-10-21T18:12:43.103-04:00Well at this point I suppose you could actually do...Well at this point I suppose you could actually do both at the same time.<br /><br />Agreed about "sabiota"--what shall we mean by it?
