Personal ordinariate...
..is an expression I hadn't heard until yesterday! You may have heard on the news about a new provision for Anglicans who wish to come into the Catholic Church. It made the front page and a couple of inside pages of the Times, and seems to be a very significant and welcoming initiative by the Church. I don't yet understand how things will work out in practice. You might like to look at the links and videos below for more information.
