Ns. traditionaalisen anglikaanisen kommuunion, siis anglikaanien traditionalistisiiven ja katolisen kirkon, lähinnä uskonopin kongregaation, väliset neuvottelut ovat nyt ilmeisesti johtaneet siihen, että yhteisölle on löytymässä jo juridinen "lokero" katolisessa kirkossa: personaaliprelatuuri.
Tässä vähän lisätietoa: http://www.therecord.com.au/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=757&Itemid=1
Jos kaikki menee hyvin, on eri puolilla lähinnä englanninkielistä maailmaa kohta nelisensataatuhatta katolilaista lisää. Ei näytä pahalta!

I assume all their priests will have to ordained? Doesn't the Church consider Anglican orders invlaid? At least according to Apostolicae Curae.
To be honest, I have my doubts about the whole thing because I fear it is for the wrong reasons. Personally, I think it would be better if they converted individually, that is, if they are really want to be Catholic.
I wouldn't be that pessimistic. Think about all different sorts of Catholics there are out there - if they would have had "free choice", how many would come? ;)
The Church is not only one of Saints (which excludes me, for sure) but also for sinners. In that sense, there is a wish, and a whitness (signatures in the Cathechism) of the official TAC as a corporate body. If they are to be trusted - and why not - that should be enough.
Questions remain, one being the position of the "bishops" because they cannot be Catholic bishops anyway, since they are married. I suppose they would become the regional vicars as monsignori to take care of the different regions of the personal prelature. Very interesting and promising.
Point taken. :)
