The Catholic Culture website reports today (October 20, 2010) that the Archbishop of Canterbury said that Anglican leaders should be involved in the planning for ordinariates that are established to accommodate the pastoral needs of Anglicans converting to Roman Catholicism.
Dr. Rowan Williams said he was "very taken aback" when Pope Benedict moved to establish the ordinariates "without any real consultation" with the Anglican leadership.
Now that the move has been made, he said, "we are trying to make sure that there is a joint group which will keep an eye on how it's going to happen."
Dr. Williams added, "In England, relations between the Church of England and Roman Catholic bishops are very warm and very close. I think we are able to work together on this and not find it a difficulty."
