Mgr. Keith Newton, first Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham will lead this year's Rosary Crusade of Reparation. The establishment of this Ordinariate was the first fruit of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, issued by Pope Benedict XVI on 4 November 2009. The Constitution and the Complementary Norms published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith provide the essential norms which will enable members of the Ordinariate to preserve within the Catholic Church those elements of Anglican ecclesial prayer, liturgy and pastoral practice (patrimony) that are concordant with Catholic teaching and which have nurtured and nourished their Christian faith and life. This is no doubt a watershed event in the conversion of England and Wales, an event for which the Rosary Crusade has prayed for for many years. More information about the Personal Ordinariate can be found here.
