Nunc dimittis

Today the Vatican published the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, which "introduces a canonical structure that provides for such corporate reunion by establishing Personal Ordinariates, which will allow [groups of Anglican clergy and faithful in different parts of the world] to enter full communion with the Catholic Church while preserving elements of the distinctive Anglican spiritual and liturgical patrimony."

Absolutely extraordinary, I never thought I would live to see the day. Viva il Papa!
