Traditionalist Anglican Church in America Agrees to Seek Entry into Roman Catholic Church

Leaders of the traditionalist Anglican Church in America have announced their decision to make a formal request for entry into the Roman Catholic Church under the provisions of the Pope's apostolic constitution "Anglicanorum Coetibus."

The group -- which claims 99 parishes in the United States -- is asking the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to implement the Pope's plan, forming an Anglican ordinariate in the United States, according to the Catholic Culture website.
