Bishop Elliott Explains the Anglican Ordinariate: 'United in Communion But Not Absorbed'


From Catholic Online-

Catholic Online readers throughout the Globe have shown tremendous interest in the coming entry into full communion of many of our Christian brethren in the Traditional Anglican Communion.

As Editor in Chief, I have written extensively on this historic event. I have expressed my opinion that this is a response to the Prayer of Our Lord Jesus to the Father "That They May Be One" (John 17) and marks the beginning of a move toward the coming reunion of the One Church of Christ in the Third Millennium.

We are happy to present an insightful article written for the "Messenger Journal", the publication of the Traditional Anglican Communion entitled United in Communion, But Not Absorbed by Roman Catholic Bishop Peter J. Elliott.

The Bishop gives a deeper explanation of the implications of the invitation to members of the Traditional Anglican Communion. In so doing he not only shares his compelling personal journey to full communion but explains the extraordinary theology of ecclesial communion behind the Apostolic Constitution for Anglicans.
