Ordinariate Use
The Anglican Use, also known as ''Divine Worship'', is a use of the Roman Rite celebrated by the personal ordinariates, originally created for former Anglicans who converted to Catholicism while wishing to maintain "aspects of the Anglican patrimony that are of particular value" and includes former Methodist converts to Catholicism who wish to retain aspects of Anglican and Methodist heritage, liturgy, and tradition. Its most common occurrence is within parishes of the personal ordinariates which were erected in 2009. Upon the promulgation of '' Divine Worship: The Missal'', the term "Anglican Use" was replaced by "Divine Worship" in the liturgical books and complementary norms, though "Anglican Use" is still used to describe these liturgies as they existed from the papacy of John Paul II to present. Definition The Anglican Use was originally "the liturgy of '' The Book of Divine Worship'' ..formulated and authorized in response to Pope John Paul II's 1980 Pastoral Provis ...

Three personal ordinariates were established between 2011 and 2012: * Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham (England and Wales, Scotland) * Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Sa ...
