{{Main|Personal ordinariate}}

In late 2009, in response to requests from various groups of Anglicans around the world who were dissatisfied with liberalising movements within the Anglican Communion, [[Pope Benedict XVI]] issued the [[apostolic constitution]] ''Anglicanorum Coetibus''. This document invites groups of traditionalist Anglicans to form what are termed "[[personal ordinariate]]s" under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the [[Holy See]] of the [[Catholic Church]] in Rome, while preserving elements of the liturgical, musical, theological and other aspects of their Anglican patrimony. Under these terms, regional groupings of Anglican Catholics may apply for reception by the Holy See under the jurisdiction of an "[[Ordinary (officer)|ordinary]]" (i.e. a bishop or priest{{NoteTag|In the Roman Catholic Church in general, ordinaries are supposed to be bishops, or at least episcopal vicars, but this condition was relaxed for personal ordinariates so as to allow married former Anglican bishops to become ordinaries: while priests in personal ordinariates may be married, bishops may not, as this is the general rule in both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. Therefore, married Anglican bishops or priests converting to Roman Catholicism receive priestly ordination but cannot become Roman Catholic bishops afterwards.}}) appointed by Rome to oversee the community. While being in a country or region which is part of the [[Latin Church]] of the Roman Catholic Church, these ordinaries will nonetheless retain aspects of the Anglican patrimony, such as married priests and traditional English choral music and liturgy. Because apostolic constitutions are the highest level of papal legislation and are not time-limited, the invitation is open into the indefinite future.

The first personal ordinariate, the [[Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham]], was established on 15 January 2011 in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{Citation | first = Anna | last = Arco | url = http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2011/01/15/priests-ordained-to-the-worlds-first-ordinariate | title = Priests ordained to the world's first ordinariate | newspaper = [[The Catholic Herald]] | location = UK | date = 15 January 2011 }}.</ref> The second Anglican ordinariate, known as the [[Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter]], was established on 1 January 2012 in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://ordinariate.net/documents/2015/11/Fast_Facts_Ordinariate.FINAL.pdf |title = What is the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter? |publisher=Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter |access-date = 3 June 2016 }}</ref> The already existing [[Anglican Use]] parishes in the United States, which have existed since the 1980s, formed a portion of the first American personal ordinariate.<ref>{{cite news |author = CWN |title = US ordinariate receives first priest, parish |url = http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=14255 |publisher=Catholic Culture |date = 9 May 2012 |access-date=11 July 2012 }}</ref> These parishes were already in communion with Rome and use modified Anglican liturgies approved by the Holy See.
