The New "Anglican Rite" in the Catholic Church

The Vatican has posted the new constitution, Anglicanorum Coetibus on its website.  This paves the way for disaffected Anglicans, so inclined, to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church.  It remains to be seen just how many will come.  God willing, it will be many.  In any event, the canonical structure is now in place for it to happen.  This is a big deal and shows, again, just how important the goal of Christian unity is to Benedict XVI.  He is a good and faithful shepherd.
