From Australia
No date has been finalised yet for the foundation of the Australian Ord inariate, says Bishop Peter Elliott, the Bishops' delegate for assisting lay Anglicans wanting to join the Church, reports the Catholic Weekly.
"In Australia we are quietly moving to that stage when we hope the Holy See will establish an ordin ariate," said Bishop Elliott, auxiliary Bish op of Mel bourne.
It had been hoped the first personal ordinariate would be established by June.
Bishop Elliott said there would be centres in all major cities for those interested - and that the interest was evident from all states at recent ordinariate festivals held in Queensland and Western Australia.
"Formal applications for membership will be possible when the time frame is clearer."
Bishop Elliott said that in the UK, where hundreds of people were ex pected to join the new ordinariate, the situation "is different to Australia"
