Description
Summary:A decade since the erection of the three personal ordinariates for former Anglicans, canonists continue to discuss this new juridical figure and compare it with other personal and territorial entities in the Latin Church. Debate has broadly focused on the proximity of this model, ecclesiologically and juridically, to that of a diocese. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum coetibus describes a personal ordinariate as "juridically comparable to a diocese" (iuridice dioecesi aequatur). This article demonstrates how this description is to be correctly understood in respect of personal ordinariates.
