Ordinariate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ordinariates)
Template:Short description In the organisation of the Catholic Church and of the Anglican Communion[1] an ordinariate is a pre- or pseudo-diocesan ecclesiastical structure, of geographical or personal nature, headed by an ordinary who is not necessarily a bishop.
An ordinariate can be:
- an ordinariate for the faithful of Eastern rites in one or more countries (for Catholics of Armenian or Byzantine rite, usually)
- a military ordinariate, for the troops of a nation
- a personal ordinariate, also known as an Anglican ordinariate[2][3] (a Catholic jurisdiction for those of the Anglican patrimony)
- a missionary jurisdiction, the Eastern Catholic equivalent of an apostolic prefecture, e.g. the former Ordinariate of Asmara
- the diocesan curia (in German use [Ordinariat], cf. English chancery)
- an ordinariate for an academic community, notably the former Ordinariate for foreign students in Belgium
