Archbishop of Washington Donald Wuerl has been chosen to spearhead the foundation of an Anglican ordinariate in the US by the Vatican, the American bishops’ conference has announced.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith named Archbishop Wuerl as its delegate, who will head the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ ad hoc committee for Anglican integration. The committee will assist the CDF with the implementation of the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus, promulgated by Pope Benedict in November last year.
